I have had one year of Computer Networking training but I have no degree. Does that count? Anyway, I know enough about computers to know that Y2K was at least partially legitimate. Something like that could have caused problems. Possibly major problems. But since we prepared by applying patches and such to computer's, we didn't see what might have happened. I suppose there could have been some very serious problems like missiles launching completely by themselves and major power outages and such. You have to remember that just about every business in modern society relies on computers in some way or another. Computers are a very major part of modern life. I guess what I should have asked everyone is whether you think Y2K was overhyped or not. I believe it was. But then again, I suppose we'll never know. I remember before the year 2000 and before applying the Y2K patch for my old Windows 98 computer, I tried setting the clock to New Years Eve at like 11:59 PM. I remember that when it the computer's clock switched to January 1, 2000 12:00 AM, nothing at all happened. So I just wonder if Y2K was actually a threat or not. I don't remember having any data loss or anything after trying that experiment. Regardless, I did end up installing the patch just to be safe.
