I would caution you not to make any analogy between biotech and internet. I have a biochemistry degree, and worked in a biotech lab at Mass. General in the mid eighties, and after med shcool, in the late 80's/early 90's I successfully darted in and out of biotech stocks. With one exception, AMGEN, I held biotechs for quick and large gains always selling into strength because I sensed too much enthusiasm and, as you say, some of the biotechs got a little ahead of themselves. To simplify, biotech was nothing more than pharmaceuticals on steroidal hype. The internet is a different animal altogether and its daily pervasiveness is a clue to its true investment potential. To simplify, it is a convergence point for all forms of communication; this notion in and of itself has greatness and does not require any hype.
