Maybe the world will end...........slowly, over a 24-hr period.

Watch the clocks, folks.

The year 2000 was a busy year for predictions. Anyone remember that other big prediction for that year - the Y2K bug.
It also failed to live up to it's predicted catastrophic doom.

As a (former) IT professional, I get slightly pissed-off at the 'Y2K Myth' story.

The reasons for why there weren't too many world-wide catastrophes at the time were many

a) Most of the predictions of total disaster were made by media sub-editors who had no real understanding of how modern computer systems worked. When a computer breaks down, unlike the movies it doesn't 'go rogue and destroys everything' - it usually just stops working.
b) Computer systems (the good ones at least - eg - commercial ones) generally have backup and recovery systems built into them - ie - they don't have a 'single point of failure'.
c) The IT industry knew this was coming and did a lot of work to minimize the damage. I remember going to conferences in 1995 where we discussed how we would manage the problem. If a system was upgraded any time after about 1990, it would be made Y2K-compatible (as much as it could). In itself, the Y2K issue was not very complex - it was just extremely large and pervasive throughout IT. The difficulty was in finding every occurrence, interface and dependency. A lot were missed, but because of mitigation plans, these were handled pretty easily at the time. There are still some non-Y2K compliant systems around now (not many - very specialised or very old).

I still remember going to the supermarket around New Years Eve 1999 and noticing a whole lot of empty shelves. I eventually realised this was the bottled water - customers had bought out the entire stock 'just in case!'. In fact, if the 'water supply computers' broke down because of Y2K, they would have used a special magic tool (called a 'spanner') to open the valves as required. Exactly as they used to run the water supply system before computers.

Oh - before you ask - yes, I made a shedload of money out of Y2K.

Let's not stretch things out, too far now.
I guess it is a 'Para-Normal' thread, so, ok. :)
