Do you remember all the hype about how everything was going to shut down and the world was going to end?
Where you hiding in a bomb shelter, watching tv, out partying, or what?
I was at home celebrating my birthday and then we all decided to load up in our trucks and go fourwheeling. I smashed the front end of my new used 4runner into a rock wall. I just bought it that day. It was a bummer but was also a lot of fun.

I wasn't bothered in the least. Some companies in the UK spent billions then nothing came to it. I hear the USA also spent tons. The Italians spent nothing on it. In fact over there they frowned on any company who was concerned as it meant they had no real clue what this was all about and some of these companies even lost important italian contracts.

I was really shocked to see how many people and companies spent tons of money of stuff that was never needed/used. What a waste!

Yea, me either. I was never one to believe all that hype but some people took it really seriously.
