Y2K Disasters 5 of 5

To See all vid series it's easier to go to the play list & click on Play All.
Most people think Y2k went over without any problems. You were lied to. There were many problems, we were under Terrorist threat, our defenses were down such as terrorist tracking satellites. NORAD was receiving false incoming missile warnings like in the movie War Games & told to ignore all warnings, we were sitting ducks for a real attack.

Mac uses a Linux based program but there is an OS that is just Linux, you don't need DOS, Windows or Mac as Linux by itself & all members of Unix family tree were immune to the Y2K problem, since they keep track of time internally in a way that's different. Instead of storing a month, day & a year as separate pieces of information, they simply keep a count of the seconds since Jan 1 1970 & convert this to a more user-friendly format as needed.

Power Macs prior to y2k were designed to handle dates through A.D. 29,940

I know what you are talking about but the problem that arose from the old cobalt sytem was simply that the pc did not have the programming to recognize 99 as 1999 so 2000 would be recognized as the year 00 or 0000, some say 1900 but that's not correct, to flip from 99 to 00 is definatly the year zero, this series explains that in great detail.

The Y2K "bug" had nothing to do with PC vs MAC...The biggest problem was with programs and databases created in COBOL on mainframes. If a problem occurred on a PC, it more of a coincidence or due to probability (that more enterprise systems use PCs vs MACs)

America then may be over-run with Chinese, Russian soldiers & anyone else that would love to take over this land, the land that we slaughtered it's original inhabitants of we too may see the same fate. That's not too unrealistic if you follow the entire history of the rise & fall of great nations. We have a new threat looming in the next 2yrs. Massive solar storms that could fry our electrical grid & destroy satellites, & earth's magnetic shield is weakening.
