Subject: 9/9/99 bug?

I guess the 9/9/99 computer bug didn't turn out to be a huge disaster.
I haven't seen any headlines from WSJ, Washington Post, AP, ZDNet, or
InfoWorld.  In a brief scan, I found:
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9909/08/9999.bug/
http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/tech/1999/sep/07/090700089.html

But they were written on the 8th and the 7th, about possible problems,
not actual trouble.

Anyone on IP have "disaster" stories to share?

David
