When 1999 was ending & the world was in shambles preparing for the computers to shut down, were you worried or not worried about Y2K? Even if it didn’t affect us on a personal level in our homes, some were worried it’d affect businesses, banks, etc. I was thinking about it but wasn’t overly worried.

I didn't give it a second thought. I knew a solution to the problem would be figured out so I had other things to worry about.

Not totally worried. But apprehensive because of what everybody else was saying. We didn’t have a computer at that time. So, no not really.

I remember being worried, I was only 9 and it was being really hyped in the media. My parents made us turn the PC off before 00:00 incase it got infected!

I was only 8 or 9 back then, not really sure if I was aware of it beyond media attention or cared about its results. Even if the PCs glitched out, I think we would have been fine.

This is at a very early age means what was fashion in these days is not fashionable these days as fashion changes every day.
