Unbelievable, it is 10 years after the famous "year 2000 bug"
10 years ago the world was worried that all computer would come to a stop, money would be lost, power cut, society destroyed.
I had a friend (who run a software company) that rented a house outside Milan, brought food, water and battery-operated lamps, to avoid the worst.
Was the problem not so serious ? Were the programmers good enough to catch all the problems before they showed up?
I'll never know.
But these ten years have been very, very short.
PS: YEAR is PIC 99999, better be ready!
