Default Harbor Freight Reviews (Y2K computer code)

As I remember, the major concern was subtracting dates. For example,
if an item was purchased in 1999, and returned to the store in 2000.
Lets see..... 99 minus 00.

Were there other things that were going to fail?

No, it was. Businesses had to lay out millions to inspect, correct,
and test
literally billions of lines of computer code. The expense was
enormous.

That planes didn't fall from the sky or all the world's gophers turn
carnivorous and sneak into your bedroom during the night, was a
tribute to
the IT profession.
