Adam - I agree with you that tech feeding off of tech has been a significant part of the technology demand cycle, and thus any impact on venture capital, capitalization of startups, etc could have a lasting effect on the growth prospects of many tech companies.

But we will still all need toilet paper.

Another thought I have is on wage costs, over the past few weeks I detect a sea change in employer/employee negotiations. A couple of head hunters I know personally report that options packages are not carrying the weight they once did, and that was before events of last week. I also noted an article along this theme in my weekend paper.

Imagine the increase in real wage growth if employees increasingly demand real cash over "cheap paper".

Just some rambling.
