<Remember the Pentium bug? The busy signal crisis at AOL?>

Yes and yes. Have people stopped buying Intel chips or signing up for AOL? No and no. In fact, they are doing so at faster rates than prior to these crises.

The busy signal problem was in 1996, correct? Let’s look at AOL’s sequential growth rate since Jun of 92 (see post linked to this one).

Examining the data, prior to the “busy signal crisis” AOL grew their subscriber base, sequentially, at an average of 26.3%. After the crisis the growth has slowed to an average of 9.4%.

So much for your “fact”.
