I remember my dad going around patching systems, mostly industrial around that time if I remember correctly.

I was a teenager at the time and at a friend's house for a NYE party. As we counted down to midnight and hit ZERO my friend's dad flipped the main power breaker of the house. The few brief seconds of uncertainty from the crowd were hilarious until someone pointed out we could see the neighbor's lights thru the curtains.

I was at a NYE party on 12/31/99. My friend group was a bunch of IT people who were fairly in the know about the subject, so we weren't worried. But somebody brought a date to the party and as the subject came up again just before midnight and we heard shooting/fireworks from down the road, the date suddenly got a horrified look on her face and asked, 'Will the guns stop working?' She managed to hit a lull in the conversation so everybody heard it. We were stunned to silence for a good few seconds before everybody busted out laughing.
