As one of the many, many people who worked extremely hard on necessary software changes in 1998 and 1999 I really can't let that remark about the Y2K problem go through to the keeper. There was a lot of work needed, a lots of work was done (though not always exactly the work needed - sometimes more and sometimes less), some work was cosmetic and some important. There were failures when the clock rolled around - some risk assessments were incorrect or rectifications were faulty.

The fact that some people took no action and suffered little consequence simply tells you they accurately assessed the situation and decided not to act. The fact that major systems that had received extensive work continued to work in 2000 simply means that the work was correctly specified and performed.

The currently fashionable notion that Y2K was a myth is a pernicious bit of nonsense.
