 @a3e2a07b Remember Y2K? I recall flying home to California from NC on Jan 1, 2000. Flights were cheap and life was good.

 @5f59e153 I remember Y2K well. I was in charge of Y2K projects at Hewlett-Packard... a massive 3 year effort to upgrade software across the company before the critical date. Nothing happened. I went down to San Francisco's Ferry Building, watched the fireworks, and drank good champagne straight from the bottle.
