My best (worst) memory of Y2K was that some idiot manager 
had the bright idea that the best way to search for 
anything that was a Y2K risk, was to have everyone in the 
production area stand shoulder to shoulder and walk 
through the area with the entire line stopping when ever 
something at risk was found.  I and another tech went to 
the VP of Production and pointed out how stupid this was. 
 In the end each person was respisible for there own work 
area, but we still had to list power cords and light bulbs 
as items inspected. BTW, that company was actually 
thinking of producing a "Y2K Sniffer" for embedded 
systems, but gave up the idea because it would have been 
released a month or two before Y2K.    The stupidity of 
management never ceases to amaze me.
