I was consulting at Arlington County, Virginia County Government. My whole family was at a friend's house as was our tradition but I had to report to the IT Department by 11:30 PM even though I had been running a virtual machine whose date had been set to cross the threshold at least 10 times. We were gone by 12:15.

I'm pretty sure everybody showed up, including the IT dept head. There was basically nothing to do. Maybe about 15 minutes after midnight I was looking at a console with a couple of managers behind me and I said "Uh oh", and wow... they were all over me looking for any kind of problem, probably just to have something to report. I think it was a date formatted wrong in a WTO or similar - nothing more. That might have been the extent of the Y2K problems I remember seeing. On 1/2/2020 2:52 PM, Phil Smith III wrote: > Hmm.
