American RadioWorks presents The Surprising Legacy of Y2K, which we find, well, surprising. Turns out some people are really clinging to the doomsday scenarios and the dried beans from 1999.

"Five years after the hoopla and warnings about Y2K, many dismiss it as a hoax, scam, or non-event. Not only was Y2K a real threat narrowly averted, but it is still having major effects on the economy. It also continues to change how we look at technology. For the fifth anniversary of Y2K, we look at the history and the legacy of the millennium bug."

A well-produced look at what we, with our guns, power bars, and large stockpile of porn felt oddly cheated by the absence of. You can read it, or Real Audio it.
