Ho hum. I was so convinced Y2K was a huge hoax that I refused to do anything to my home PC or laptop, despite the millions the company I worked for was forced to spend, and in turn, forced it's vendors to spend to "fix" the "problem".
I didn't run any windows or other software patches. I didn't even do the ridiculously simple (and silly) change of making the year read four digits instead of two. I didn't stock up on food or water and didn't fill my bathtub. I figured electronic devices didn't know or care whether 2000 was a higher or lower number that 1999. To them, it's all just a bunch of 1s and 0s.
Jan. 1, 2000 came and went, my desktop, laptop and all my software (Excel, Quicken and all) worked just fine.
I am equally moved by the 2012 scare.
