Ah, all computer issues can be solved/checked by a floppy in a PC because all computers are PCsMy point was, that it's a simple check to do but the hype around it helped a friend pay off his mortgage.
He wrote a simple script, put it on a floppy disc (yes!), pc boots from floppy, reads and executes script which changes time and date to 23:59 31/12/99 and waits a minute to see it roll over to 2000. Puts a sticker on PC.
Charges corporation a big bill.
If PC fails, he provided a service to supply Y2K compliant machines. Charges corporation bigger bill.
On some older PCs at the time. Companies employed him to make the problem go away. He did it.Ah, all computer issues can be solved/checked by a floppy in a PC because all computers are PCs
It's this gross simplification of things that really narks me. Rolling over the date to check whether a system fails is something that was done often, the job of identifying the root cause of any errors and fixing them was complex.
It was not hype. The issues were real.
