I'm so old I Remember when:

[AntiqueB]

Ah, Y2K. The world was definitely going back to the Stone Age. I thought that was sort of idiotic. What was a computer going to do, reset itself to 1900 instead of 2000, realize it didn't exist, and self-implode? So I chose that day to fly back to Korea from NY.

The flight was blissful. There were so few people on that plane (3-4-3 seat configuration), whole row sections were empty. I sat at a window when I was awake, and in a middle section to sleep.

I'm so old I remember the nuttiness that surrounded new years 1999. Most everyone was freaking out because we were going into 2000 and good Lord, were the computers gonna flip? Turns out, all is well. Imagine that

We had just started using new computers at work (nights).
Everyone was worried about what would happen if they crashed.
I pointed out that they crashed every couple days anyway so I wasn't sure what the problem was.

I told everyone around Y2K that "I want a place in the country, off the grid, free flowing well, 2 acre garden and livestock."
"Not for Y2K, I just always wanted that."

Me too. And now, the young body and strength to be able to manage it.

A reminder, the topic of this thread is “I’m so old I remember…” Please stay on topic, of course you’re welcome to start your own thread.

So I guess this is goodbye... and maybe I don't want to remember certain things (it doesn't help that I'm using an Android phone either). Evidently I'm not fitting in.

Please delete me from whatever you call this chat forum. I'm done.

That seems a bit of an extreme reaction: it was just a friendly reminder of what this particular thread is about.
Stick around for memory lane; start another thread for other stuff.
Have fun.
