> If you were involved with it you do tend to resent the people that say it was over blown but you also understand the feeling that it was over blown by the media because it did play upon public fear to sell products and views.

I was 10 at the time. I heard about the 2yk bug on the news and they were saying how it was really a serious problem and in a worse case scenario the grid might go down and all electronics could stop working.

As everyone was excitedly counting us into the year 2,000 I remember being stood in the street terrified the world was about to blow up. I remember breathing a sigh of relief when the street lights didn't turn off at midnight, although I still went back into the house to check if the TV and other electronics were still working.

Seems silly looking back on it now, but the media scare stories about bug completely ruined my memory of that night.
