There were lots of happenings you didn't hear about.  For example at my
employer of the time we had a 16 bit client access app fail doing
certificate checking which prevented using the app. Some customers where
using the app to access their critical systems so this was a big deal to
the affected ones.  We had to fix it in a hurry on 1 Jan 2000.  (The
nature of the bug was sufficiently complex that testing didn't catch it.)

It wasn't a disaster, but lots of this kind of thing happened, and adds
up.  Because people were prepared it meant they had contingency plans or
were prepared to let it slide for a while until things were fixed because
they curtailed their own activity.
