Victor, actually I got out of blue martini with a profit and a hiccup. Usually, one doesn't open a time capsule after only one year. But given how much has changed since March 10, 2000, and how far we've fallen, it's worth revisiting -- to chart the hysteria, search for the warning signs and take away some lessons from the folly. We all remember the cheerfully arrogant "greater fool" theory. Too bad the catchphrase now, especially in tech circles, is a reference to mass cult suicide -- yesterday's go-go investors and businesses talk about "drinking the Kool-aid," a ghoulish reference to Jim Jones and his followers in Guyana.
