I never understood why those stickers were put on computers because it just scared technologically illiterate people which back then was basically everyone.
They 100% knew it wasn’t going to be a problem for at least a year before the event because they fixed it. The only computers that would really be affected was anything that wasn’t networked, because it couldn’t download the update. But if it wasn’t networked, then you could just change the time to some earlier point to avoid the issue. Then download the patch as and when you can get it on a disk.
