We revisit the original digital apocalypse — the year 2000 - looking back at what Y2K really was, how an army of COBOL coders saved the world before midnight, and why most people never even noticed.

But the clock is ticking again: Y2K38 is coming, and this time it's 32-bit. Different date, same panic waiting to happen as UNIX time doesn't heal — it overflows into a negative.
