I was born in the year 2000 so I missed the Y2K scare, but I think it’s interesting, so yeah. Sorry if I made you feel old saying that 😂

Break out your shiny sneakers and futuristic sunglasses – these bleak political times need some retro-futuristic optimism.

In the late 1990s, IBM established Year 2000 Conversion Centers to tackle the Y2K problem, where many computer systems could fail due to date misinterpretation.

These centers helped organizations identify and fix Y2K issues, offering services like code conversion, testing, project management, and training.

With a global reach, IBM collaborated with tech companies, industry groups, and governments to ensure systems were updated and ready for the new millennium.

Their efforts successfully mitigated potential disruptions and set a precedent for managing large-scale IT challenges.

After midnight on December 31, 1999, my friends and I went around the house to ceremonially check out everything we thought might have a computer chip in it, to make sure the Y2K Bug hadn't gotten it. We were 12 and it was silly, but it seems like it would have made a half-decent New Year's tradition if it weren't so precisely time bound.

PC Magazine April 6, 1999

Michael J. Miller’s editorial in this issue commented on how some readers were insistent “the Y2K problem” was being ignored, even as certain vendors kept sending out press releases declaring their product would fix everything. He counted himself as “pretty much an optimist,” and wasn’t “gathering years’ worth of food, guns, and ammunition.” One of the latest Palms appeared on the cover; an early Blackberry showed up in the table of contents, identified among “pagers that browse and beep.”
