Briefly, from memory, there were *quite a few* problems of small retail establishments resending duplicate charges due to bugs in their software that treated "year 00" as something that could never happen. This would have been avoided by updating their software. And they were informed. Problems were averted by banks detecting and rejecting the duplicates.

Also, we lost track of one of our spy satellites for a few weeks.

Read the comp.risks entries for details.
