The millennium bug was real. I was one of the generations of programmers who
wrote it. The reason it turned into a damp squib is that I was also one of
the people who fixed it, before it blew up.
The lesson to be learned from that is that if you do something about an
imminent disaster, nobody will believe it was ever going to happen.

I'll second that. Though the core system I worked with never used two
character years to start with. The systems surrounding it however
needed manor work at times.
