Replies BlooHook Posted at 9:30 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 What really happened with Y2K? Nothing! No chaos, no anarchy, no martial law, no riots... I was highly disappointed   Although I assumed nothing would've happend, anyone with a basic knowledge of how computers work knew there was nothing to worry about. I'm just glad I didn't go out and stock up on bottled water and canned good like those other idiots     espresso8097 Posted at 10:53 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 We had a 386 running Windows 3.1 here during the Y2k change, it blew up.  Was a very big deal. tkedwn119 Posted at 5:56 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from HannahBEE at 8:11 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from tkedwn119 at 8:09 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from HannahBEE at 7:36 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from tkedwn119 at 7:35 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Quote: from HannahBEE at 7:33 pm on Aug. 4, 2008 Y2K was a bunch of scared idiots hiding in their basements Much like the, "End of the Mayan Calendar" will be Fixt and yes It's not a question, it's a statement The End of the Mayan Calendar hasn't happened.
