Nah.

Same thing happened in 2000 and it was a mouse’s fart.

I went to uni in the mid 90s when Y2K prep was all the rage, went back to do another degree 20 years later. It was interesting to see the graffiti in the CS toilets. Two digits up to about 1996, four digits for a decade, then back to two.
