Many, if not a majority, of my non-technical friends and acquaintances have expressed at one time or another a reference to the "Y2K disaster" and rolled their eyes to suggest it was somehow not an issue. I was the 'Y2K compliance officer' at my startup at the time (we even got certified, and that actually may have been a scam (the certifying part)) but we identified and fixed a number of issues our box would have suffered had we not done the work.
