Well, being just a little on the lazy side, I installed no upgrades to ensure that my computer was y2k compliant, nor did I run any diagnostics to see if it was. At midnight, I left my computer on and watched as it turned over to the new century. And guess what? It turned over just like any other day. No questions asked, no explosions. No nuttin'. Just worked like it was supposed to.
This new year did remind me of one thing though. When I was younger, junior high maybe, I would think ahead to this particular new year and the thought "Man, I'll be really old by then" would run through my head. Fifty-two was an unbelievably old age for me to imagine. When the movie 2001 came out and I was in my 20's I thought of it again and came to the same conclusion. I'll be really old then. Well, now it's here and I am 52 and I'm not really old. Shows how wrong you can be sometimes.
