Back to the year 1000 A.D. did the people at that time had a large festival like what we had seven years ago in the year 2000?

No, there was great terror and conviction that the End of Times was at hand. In fact, the same process went on at the end of 1899 and people sold their goods and went out in camps to await.
The major negative concern of 2000 was the computer programs that people like me had written that only had two digits (87) for the year, since 2000 was so far away that the program would probably not still be running and, believe it or not, memory and disk storage were so expensive (he said looking at a Gig for $60 in memory and 160 Gig for twice that in a hard drive.)
