So I think that it's important to answer this question in two ways. When we talk about what the expectations were for what was going to happen, it's really important to note that by the time you get to 1998 to 1999, most of the people in the IT sector, most of the people in the government who are working on this, are saying that Y2K is going to be a bump in the road.

Now, in terms of what actually happened when 1999 became 2000, well, I imagine some people drank champagne. Some people maybe kissed somebody. I imagine that as this recent film makes clear, there were some teenagers who were getting involved in hijinks. But the computers did not come crashing down. The lights did not fail. But that doesn't mean that nothing happened.
