Legacy apps!! You gave yourself away! Many of us techs were either in the office in 12/31/1999 in case the systems died on 1/1/2000 or were at home on call - not allowed any adult alcoholic beverages in case we were called in to avert the crisis! Fortunately, the year's worth of testing averted that situation. There was some fallout but it was minimal.
I got a nice wooden pen with January 1, 2000 for all my efforts.
And a nice check for the OT on 12/31/1999.
