    Remember Y2K? Have any stories?

    When the year 2000 hit, I was on a ski trip with my family in an extremely nice cabin. I got a Pocket Pikachu G/S, Pokemon Silver (already had Gold, played for maybe an hour), and some other misc stuff. I remember sitting in the middle room watching the ball drop on the TV, and nothing happening. My story is very boring, but that trip was one of my favorites of all time :3.

    I do remember all the hype though. The computer crash, the apocalypse... it's funny to look back at how worried people could get about things.

    I was at a rave, which being as it was illegally held in an abandoned warehouse, was already using diesel generator.

    When the E wore off and we wandered to the car at 7am, the world still existed.

    I was surrounded by a bunch of Muslims. I'm not Muslim. Or Arab.

    I was in Paris, visiting family (I live in the Netherlands). Lots of fireworks came from the Eiffel Tower.

    Two days later, I remembered that there was supposed to be a crash or something.

    I was sitting at home watching midnight approach on TV. 12 came and went, the lights didn't go out, and I went to bed.

    I was at some randoms house with my parents and a few family friends.
    I remember i watched Carlton flog Collingwood in the footy match they had on.
    When 2000 hit i was jumping on a tiny excercise trampoline popping a party popper . I was only 11 at the time. Nothing exciting happened really, you just wasted a few seconds reading this id say

    I was with my family in a dungy old apartment that was too small to properly accomodate all eight of us eating ice cream and cookies while playing some games that we rented for our Super Nintendo.

    I knew a fair amout about computers even then and realized that it was unlikely that anything major would happen, so I wasn't worried in the least.

    I remember the hype, remember thinking only retards believed it, every generation has a supposed apocalypse, etc

    I was at my hometown downtown get-together center. Basically a giant bridge with a train station attatched, fireworks were cool, had a fun time. Remember thinking "There goes the 1000s..."

    Y2K38 is what you should be worrying about.

    My dad bought a bunch of canned food and about 20 gallons of water and a gasoline powered generator. Y2K came and all that happened was the clock on our windows 3.1 machine set back to 1920 or some shit.

    I was at Disneyland with my family. Shit was pretty cash. Crowded though. And I knew no one around me realized that it wasn't really the new millennium yet.

    I was 10, my dad, who i didn't see that often, took me to his local to listen to his mates play an epic jazz gig. Then we went to a huge grassy hill with what seemed like a thousand other people and watched fireworks. I remember being kinda awestruck when my dad explained to me that this was a millennia and how privileged we were to be alive to see it. On the way back he was drunk on booze and the pretty lights and wanted to join some random house parties but i said something like "Nooo Daaaaad we don't even know them. And Its time for bed" and we just went home. But instead of sleeping we ended up eating marshmallows and watching an old movie we had on tape. I can't remember what it was..something long, maybe discworld. I remember finally going to sleep at 7 in the morning and being amazed that id stayed up all night. Saw the 7 oclock news before i went to bed though, something about the worlds computers not malfunctioning..
