What do you remember about the Y2K scare ?

Answer 1

I work in a 9-1-1 center. Everyone and his brother had to be in the situation room to handle the impending emergency! It was hilarious! What a non-event that turned out to be!

Answer 2

I remember going to the east coast to participate in some Y2K software testing and getting into the fringes of Hurricane Floyd before it made landfall. Everyone seemed to be a lot more concerned about Y2K than about the hurricane.

P.S.
If I changed my name to Hurricane Floyd would we be kindred souls, Ms. Hurricane Fran?

Answer 3

I remember not getting too excited like a lot of my friends.

I was freakin out!...Whew!, I was drunk that night!

Answer 5

Yes, and at the time, my family went out and bought about 50 gallons of water, loads of canned food, and dehydrated food to last us for a long, long time. I knew it was a hoax. That's why I looked at all of them like fools.
