What ever happened to Y2K?
I mean, the whole world held it's breath. Then, when nothing happened, no one seemed to find it odd.
It was like we were all embarrassed at how gullible we all were, and collectively decided never to speak it's name again...

even if that's not the case, technically the millennium didn't START until 2001. so even if the calendar were accurate, they were still a year early for panic.

it had to do with a programming bug- the year of a date was represented by the last 2 digits, instead of 4 digits. Apparently, some things did go askew on Y2K, but all the SNAFUs were caught.
