LOL! What non-event!
Back in 2000 I was an IT consultant and boy! did I make a LOT of $$$ leading up to the "New Millenium" crossover... and I did it honestly. I tried to advise my clients concerning the irrational fears regarding mass computer failures on 1/1/2000 that were being propagated in the media and otherwise but people hear and fear what they want.

I did a lot of "upgrades" (mostly MS patches) for my clients and didn't have a single instance of "meltdown"... All my LINUX servers BTW, just kept going....

As was pointed out earlier, the Mayan calendar "rolls over" in 2012. The Doomsayers however, will seize upon anything that even remotely looks "apocalyptic"...
LOL!!! I made a bundle on that too! Working new Years Eve alone netted me 4 days of paid vacation !
