I had been in the business of Y2K auditing for a short time; from what
I've seen, it was pretty much hype after all.
Yes, there might have been some bad surprises here and there, and
possibly even a few isolated cases of /real/ shit happening, if the
issue hadn't been raised at all. But the level to which it was
ultimately raised was way out of proportion.
