The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem) was a notable problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits.
While no globally significant computer failures occurred when the clocks rolled over into 2000, preparation for the Y2K bug had a significant effect on the computer industry.
My friends at Urlesque look back at the now-hilarious 'End of Times.'
