What happen to the 1990s?
Well, as I recall, they ended without a bang.

I, like every other programmer or system administrator on Earth, spent months preparing for the 'Millennium date bug.'

We waited with bated breath as midnight 01/01/2000 approached...

Will everything crash? All programs stop working? Go out of business? :eek:

And then, at least in my case, NOTHING happened! My obsessive attention to rewriting date math and expanding date fields had worked! :D

BTW, I'm still annoyed when people refer to 2000 as the new millennium. That honor actually goes to 01/01/2001. :rolleyes:

No kidding, it is not new at all, we ruined the next millennium for thousands of years upcomming, always looking down at our comptuer screens.

Whoa, indeed! Damn, that looked like fun.

I was such a Mythbusters fan, always enjoying the things Jamie and Adam did. It's good to see Adam back with a show--maybe he'll have Jamie on sometimes!
I just seen this the other day...


See you soon moody, just need a break from here. Stuff keeps happening. :)
