I think that's supposed to be a computer chip with legs. Your suggestion is probably better.
No, the other one.
Good illustration of a computer bug. Less so for millennium.
The suggestion is kinda dull, but does illustrate the trope better.
Check out my fanfiction!

What he said.
The current image is a good image for an article about computer bugs if we ever get one.
The suggestion illustrates more.

I agree, the current is good for Computer Bug and the suggestion is at least better for this trope.

Well, if we want to be illustrative of the actual issue this shows the confusion that some programs would confuse the new date with 1900. [1]

It's certainly an option, although it doesn't illustrate the panic which surrounded the idea of the bug.
Hi
Clock is set. Crowner?
Gentleman Troper!
Yes, let's do that.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Checked that episode and found nothing.
The Simpsons and Family Guy also had (noncanon) episodes about Y2K. I'm not sure of there is anything from those we could use.

Hi
Crowner's hooked.
That demonstrates both the clock problem and the panic it caused, so ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
I am not sure what's happening there.

Hi
I'm assuming there was some kind of electronic date display that malfunctioned because of the Bug and the people are fleeing in terror.

I wish I could vote down the clocks more than once. Man, is that ugly. Other two suggestions are good though.
Hi
Bump for votes...starting to look pretty decisive but the crowner's still young.
Hi
This one's ready to call. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?
Hi
Hearing nothing, let's lock up.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
I'm not seeing any "millennium" in the image, and the bug it shows is the wrong kind (an insect bug, rather than a computer bug).
This image
