The Y2K bug hit a video store customer with a near six-figure late fee, the Associated Press reported. At the Super Video rental store in Colonie, N.Y., a computer calculated an overdue tape as being 100 years late, and called for a $91,250 fine. The store owner calculated the real fine by hand, the AP reported.
