You have to be mistaken, Don.  Don't you rember the media claiming after
2000 went by without planes falling from the air that the Y2K but never
really existed, was blown out of proportation, wouldn't of  even caused
problems hat programmers just hyped it to make money to do conversions...

There couldn't of been a system crash from a Y2K bug because, according to
the media anyway, the Y2K bug was just a bunch of hype!

Or maybe the media was wrong and the fact is that all these systems *would*
of crashed if all us programmers hadn't fixed things.

Naw, the medias never wrong, is it?
