A Moment In Time...
I was thinking the other night (it's true..) that this generation witnessed something amazing.
On Jan 1/2000...the year changed, the decade changed, the century changed and we entered a new millennium.
It was too bad that most of the world was focused on the Y2K scare, fearing that computers wouldn't work/would reset/would blow up etc...
It was one moment in time, that 900 years of future generations will not witness.
I feel special
It's the year 5775 on the Hebrew calendar
So let's get a party going (let's get a party going)
Now it's time to party and we'll party hard (party hard)
Let's get a party going (let's get a party going)
When it's time to party we will always party hard!!!

If they didn't make the Mayan calendar weigh 30 tons and keep dropping the facking thing....the world would have ended a few times before now.

I remember back then thinking it was pretty profound to see the old odometer roll over from 1999 to 2000.
For Y2K I was forbidden to take vacation between December 25th and January 1st. I had to go in bright and early on the 1st and ensure the computer systems were working.
A full day's pay for 2 hours of running around an office of 250 empty desks/offices to find that only 1 system, an ancient cattle brand license PC running DOS reset itself to 1900 (I worked in agriculture) so it wouldn't issue licenses. They re-hired the retired programmer to redo the program for thousands! They shelved it 2 years later.
My other offices I supported in various locations told me they wouldn't give me keys / alarm access to their building, so I had to phone them on the 2nd - no problems.
I got an extra week off, so I thought that was cool.

How so, did you make the dough....Joe?
I bought my first pc the end of 2002...Windows 98 offlineThen in 2003 I took the leap and entered the wonderful world wide web of donkey porn
Ah the good old Y2K bug. Lets not forget we need to start planning for the Unix epoch bug. Party like its 2038, nice little retirement cash generator for the IT industry :-)
I got a Commodore Vic-20 for a high school grad present, then gave that to my bro and bought a Commodore 64, then in '86 decided Computers were the career for me and in '88 got a diploma from college.
I assembled my own 286...before the internet there was BBS's you dialed into for your...er...pictures of vistas.
Then leapt up to the 486/33mhz, and Frankensteined it to 99mhz and on and on I went...

In 2000, I was a redneck who thought he would never use or own a computer....football, chicks, partying...wtf would a guy need a home pc for?
i believe i was very drunk when the clocks rolled the year over to 2000 and didn't care if my mobile worked again
The new millennium didn't start until January 1st, 2001
