    was a load of over hyped crap

    some firms made millions off it due to gullable fools.

    2000 came, fuck all happened.

    All i have to say is BULLSHIT

    It only affected really old unix systems that could be fixed by a patch so why spend Millions???

    It was a rip off

    not true in the slightest!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

    as an example, unless we spend time at nissan amending our mainframe systems to use 4 digit years instead of the 2 digit years they were using....we wud have been in trouble!

    same goes for a lot of other places.

    how can u say it only affected really old unix systems?!?!?!

    absolutely crazy statement!!! :lol:
