Show Notes
If you were around in the 90s it may have felt like the Y2k computer problem came out of nowhere. But in fact it was something that programmers were always aware of. In this episode of History of the 90s we’re looking back at the steps taken to make sure a problem with the world’s computers didn’t wreak havoc on society on January 1, 2000. And depending on who you talk to it was either a major success or a massive hoax.
