We were told anything with a computer chip would fail, including household items & planes.
I argued this from 1998. I deliberately didn't modify anything. The only thing that happened was the date changed. My computer was a 386 AT (pre pentium)

Told by whom?
I mean, I don't expect anyone to remember specific sources from 20+ years ago. :D But a few outlandish claims to sell newspaper/TV ads is not a justification to disregard legitimate calls to action. There's a big distance between "a few news sources were super exaggerated" and "the entire news industry claimed that harm was irrevocably imminent, like a giant meteor in the sky"
