I didn’t know much about y2k, I was just a kid and my family wasn’t tech savvy and hated the idea of me ever touching a computer, which given my hobbies now is extremely ironic, but I know enough about the IT field to know a lot of people worked very hard to fix it.

Honestly, there’s tons of people here far more qualified than me who could probably tell you how bad it would have been.

It would’ve been a lot less catastrophic than people made it out to be.
