The amount of work that had to be done in such a short time was herculean, one failure would easily cascade to other systems and take huge swaths of systems offline. The only reason it did not was the fact it became apparent that it would be so devastating we'd about have to start over.Y2K was supposed to be earth shattering too.

We still are victim to this 2 digit programing method, the latest was with browser versions being denoted by 2 digits, and chrome was at 99. version 100 could have been interpreted as 10, 00 or error, and pages would fail to load.
