If I'm wrong here, did anyone ever hear of one older computer (not upgraded for Y2K) that failed during that moment?
Only had one.

It was at my school, an old 486 with a crappy BIOS<---culprit, AMI I think or something.....

I was checking for y2k compliance, and when you put the date past 2000, it wouldn't boot.... really wierd
