I'm afraid this image has no alt text, which prevents blind users from understanding what you're asking.

A photo of part of a tower computer featuring a headphone jack, a knurled dial switch, and a 5-1/4" floppy disk drive. A large sticker on the computer proclaims: "REMEMBER Turn your computer off before midnight on 12/31/99 - BestBuy"

I started a new job not long after Y2K. A friend of mine was already working there. New Years Eve, 1999 the whole IT team was required to work, "just in case". They were all gathered right outside the server room watching the ball drop. Midnight approached, and they started their countdown. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and at the stroke of midnight, my friend turned off the overhead lights. There were people that were still angry with him for it when I joined the team months later.
