What puzzles me is that in the early 90s, unemployment in Santa Clara county was higher..I think it peaked around 12%, and its about 7-8% now.

But things didn't seem so gloomy back then. It was like, yes, Lockheed is laying off, but Cisco is hiring :) I definitely do not remember anyone seriously questioning the relevance of Silicon Valley.

Is the increased doom and gloom because everyone believed all the hype in the 90s? Not *one* tech company has been unaffected by the downturn. Maybe the whole overcapacity thing was worse than we thought.
