I too was there for the Y2K FRAUD. Never did find out who started this (maybe the birth of Fake News?) but the near panic of people stock plying food, water, ammo and money, almost caused a crisis in itself.
At the time, I was a Manager for a large Security Company responsible for the state of Connecticut. We updated software and firmware, tested systems, and made preparations with additional manpower (on a continuous 24 rotation for 3 days) and parts to respond if/when a "disaster" occurs....guess what.....of the thousands of Access Control and Building Management Systems we had.....only 5 defaulted to the year 1973 and had to be programmed manually to a year & date that has the same days of the week that year 2000 had, until the system could be replaced.
All that work for almost a year to only have 0.0125 systems affected....Guess that's better than claiming I'm an American Indian with 1/1024 percent.
