Exactly. Y2K wasn't a problem because billions were spent fixing all of the software systems before it happened. Without those fixes (and many of the bugs that were fixed would have been catastrophic), the software simply wouldn't have worked, and we would have had a huge mess.

Also, if it weren't for all of this investment, the dot-com bubble would have exploded a couple of years earlier. Thanks to all that dot-com spending, we didn't see a tech collapse until spring of 2000.
