Throwback to when I worked at a CD-ROM company with a shady boss who suggested creating a fake disc to trick users into thinking their computers were updating for Y2K. We never went through with it, but what a wild time that was!

A close-up of a beige computer drive bay with a yellow and black sticker that reads 'REMEMBER Turn your computer off before midnight on 12/31/99.' The sticker is placed on the front panel of an older computer, which also shows '52x24x5' speed ratings. The humor stems from the absurdly specific and outdated instruction to shut down a computer before midnight on December 31, 1999, a date that was famously feared for the Y2K bug.
