Question Y2K

This time last year the hot topic was the "Y2K" bug. The world was going to be plunged into disaster at midnight on 31 December. People were being advised to stock up with food, draw cash out of the bank and avoid flying. Many airlines cancelled flights, not because they were afraid of course, its just that no-body wanted to fly then.

Now we are halfway through the final year of the second millenium all is quiet. What was the fuss about? Did anything actually happen? I didn't see any press reports of any significant problems but does anyone know of any major system "crashes" or shut-downs?
