Comments by "James LaBarre" (@SenileOtaku) on "Top 20 Things from the 90s That Don't Exist Anymore" video.

  1. That was the comment I wanted to make too. The main reason it was an issue was because there were systems (not just computer programs, but lots of control systems) where we didn't know how a system handled dates. And if it couldn't handle a century rollover, what would be it's failure mode. Or even would there be a failure, rather than just limping along. So whatever could be checked was checked, whatever could be fixed was fixed, and sometimes it was seen as an opportunity to replace/update old systems. The problem was seen, and the problem was addressed.

  2. It all depends on where you are getting your music from. In the 70's I was listening to the prog-rock station out of Montreal, in the 80's it was the underground punk/new wave, later it was Belgian Techno and techno-punk, and these days it's Vocaloid and the Japanese indie/doujin music. Never have run out of decent music to listen to, I've just known that the Top-40/Billboard 100 were never going to be a reliable source of decent music.

  3.  @latinoheateddieguerrero7644  Ha. When those groups were out, I was listening to Lords of Acid, KMFDM, Nitzer Ebb, etc.

  4. Encarta????? Come on, folks, ***Infopedia***!!!!! Infopedia had a whole lot more reference books in it than Encarta. All tightly squeezed onto a 700MB CD.
