COMMENT:
Was Y2K a possible problem ?
I was programmer then systems programmer and Senior programmer for several companies in the late 1960’s into mid 1970’s. Indeed our records did have just a 2 digit year in all records.
Of course technology improved and and space would have become less important and history would suggest that the problem was foreseen and handled significantly.
Was that guaranteed ?
Of course not.
REPLY: There were computer systems that were the old system based only on a two-digit date. Those systems were predominantly the problem, but they were exaggerated to make it seem that the entire computer world would crash. So in that respect, I was wrong in not addressing the old two-digit systems. They were the minority.
