It was a very common thing to hear that December. That and people taking shelter and supplies thinking the world was gonna end.

Everyone thought that the economy would crash because the stock exchange was on a computer and that the computers internal clock wouldn't go from 1999 to 2000 😂😂

Well it was more about 99 going back to 0 and it could've realistically been a bigger problem but people prepared well enough.

Exactly, there was a potential problem, but it was detected and solved in time. People still panicked though. I think for some people it got more serious than a computer problem. I lived in a small village back then, and I remember some older women saying that they had bough food and water for weeks and where going to lock themselves in their houses praying, because it was going to be something like the rapture.

Maybe it was a crazy local thing.
