The Y2K06 bug didn't happen as predicted by millions.
Winxp rules!
 
Very funny. But while we're on the subject of the millennium, can you
believe that just about the entire world fell for the scam perpetrated by
the marketing industry and condoned by governments around the world? The
masses were conned into believing that the century ended on midnight,
December 31, 1999. That's only a year early. That was only the beginning
of the last year of the century. The millennium began on midnight, January
1, 2001. That was the beginning of the first day of the new millennium. Oh
well . . .

Was it a scam? In reality it was only about Date codes in
applications/systems that used 2 digits for the year code.

I found many industrial control systems that had been coded to use a 2
digit year code, that would have failed had it not been corrected.
 
I was referring to the fact that the world was told the new century, and the
new millennium, began a year earlier than it actually did. The fact that
the much hyped, and virtually absent, "millennium bug" did almost no damage,
is of little consequence.
