Millenium Bug -the Armageddon That Never Was
During the late nineties, somebody started a rumour that got old the middle-age technophobes into something of a bind. Fear spread like the plague that everything electrical would explode when the countdown reached 2000. Just as people were buying revamped copies of The Artist Formerly Known As Prince (or squiggle) ’s “We’re gonna party like it’s 1999″, they were also employing the world’s greatest nerds to check whether their new “Lap-Tops” would crumble under the weight of the double zero. The logic ran that twentieth century programming had not taken the last two digits of the day’s date into consideration when setting calendars.
Alas, when the time came, everyone got drunk, forgot the words to Aud Lang Syme and when they got to work the following week -everything was as normal.
Did anything actually break???
All the news about Slovenia since 2000 has been a lie.
