New Years Eve, a mini Y2K event?
- Thread starter RedLdr1
- Start date
I doubt they're be any problems, the original Y2K bug affected older computer systems, mostly with software written in the 70's-80's, that couldn't count past year 1999. I was working with older HP mainframes at the time, and remember putting in Y2K patch tapes to get around the bug. I suppose the date 123123 could be ripe for hackers though.
Ill keep an eye on my Commodore 64. If anything happens, I'll be sure to take another drink

Regarding your allusion to the date 123123, I don't know if it was exploited by hackers but I read that the wedding chapels in Vegas were overwhelmed by couples wanting to get married on that date.....
