In other words the Wrath of God has arrived to punish the Americans for building the 21st Century. Probably has something to do with not worshiping Clinton enough to elect His Chosen One. Am I on the right track here??? Thanks, but I'll stay long...

I hope you are right. One of those 'business decisions' that did not seem right apparently is the way high tech companies were acting as VCs for startups. They have lost millions, with no recoup in sight, and are starting to pull the plug. Hindsight 20/20, why did HP, Dell, et al think they could do VC? My rant may turn out to be the final capitulation the market needed. I don't want to show hope, because hope is apparently a sign that the bottom has not been reached :)
