Y2K, the Sequel

Can it be that it was a mere 10 years ago that the entire world, including Atlanta, Georgia, was all in a tizzy over Impending Doom because of the threatened Y2K Virus Shutdown? Is it true that whole industries marshaled their troops with dire "what if" contingency plans and that some of us, in the newspaper industry, had to travel to satellite sites and attempt to put out a newspaper using the backup computer system, ruining perfectly good weekend days doing so? (And that we didn't achieve a whole hell of a lot, at that.) Can it be that the main thing I remember accomplishing that weekend was knocking off an incredible number of Krispy Kreme doughnuts? That what we did for the most part was sit around and wait while computer gurus tried to "work out the kinks" in the system (this, after what seemed like a couple of years of making all the contingency plans during meeting after mindless meeting on the subject). But they generated some pretty slick Disaster Handbooks! And Pfft, nothing happened. So now we marvel at how time flies and how we await the next great Impending Doom. And whatever happened to my "I Survived Y2K and All I Got Was This Lousy Sweatshirt"?
