Nah, the media has overhyped a lot of it.  I actually live up here in
Seattle and things are still going strong.  The only difference is that your
stocks that were worth $250,000 are now worth $25,000.   Unless you sold
them when they were high that is.

It's not as bad as it's made out to be.  Most of the "internet millionaires"
were just that on paper and never really saw any of the money anyways.    If
anything it's forced companies to compensate people with salary now, instead
of stock options.  That used to be how they'd get you, with a low salary and
a ton of stocks.  Doesn't work like that anymore.
