It was a pretty big deal, it just didn't amount to anything. But a lot of people were worried about it.
My friend had one of the very few personal computers that was actually at risk from the timekeeping issue. The only real threat was that some important computer somewhere was forgotten in the patching that happened beforehand and could cause a cascading failure or something. Otherwise I remember a news story about the old people who had headstones that were pre-carved with 19__ in the death date.
I know you’re right. I’m just saying living through It as an early teen wasen’t a big deal.
911 and Columbine affected me way more
