Today iCalvyn.com give history lesson 🙂 Back to 8 year ago!!!
Does you guys still remember there are a bug called “Y2K Bug“? Is regarding the computer date issue, which the computer only 2 digit for the year such as year 99, instead of year 1999. So when come to year 2000, the figure will turn to “00”
“00” may be mean 1900 or 1800, that time your does not exist yet! Possible your account balance will become “0”, so where your hard earn money?
On that time, computer are still very expensive, price is around RM4000 to RM5000, of course most of the organization not afford to change all the PC, so they invest for this Y2K card. If not mistaken, this card cost them thousand over per pcs.
After install this Y2K card, the computer able to display 4 digit for the year. All the issue are solve.
This card has been testing and testing again before it sold by a lot inventor, although this problem has been solve, but still people worry on the system crash at year 2000.
I still remember people worry on END OF THE WORLD. According to them, they are worry about the military system. Once the system goes mad, and the nuclear boom simply launch and target in different area, the world will be gone!!!Haha! What a funny joke!
For this card, I am just wonder how much it worth now? 🙂

Maybe RM1?
I never knew there was this Y2K card… I only heard of posssible bug fixes at that time by hiring computing experts to iron out any wrinkles before the clock strikes twelve 🙂 but in the end no major incident happened, our bank accounts did not got reset to 0 and no nuclear war happened. Hah.
Anyway I think that card is going to be an antique! Maybe it’ll be sold for millions when it is year 3000.
I can still remember everyone suppose to be back at their office/ stay back on the night of Y2K ewe. Before the clock strike 12 a.m, we were all thinking if there will be electricity?
The card does help and the older system managed to be revamped..
A sign of relieve for all.
