Want to know what the lesson is?

Never buy and hold a software stock-MSFT being the only exception.
Take a look at the list of victims.
Oracle,Informix,Applix,Citrix,Security Dynamics,Macromedia,Broderbund,
etc. I'm sure I've missed plenty of others.
Trade them only.
Don't waste a lifetime waiting for a moment that will never come.

what is the lesson?

I guess the lesson is becoming more clear. Let things have more time to run their course. Don't let the buzzards who always come in when a stock is down break your resolve. Don't live so close to the edge that you can't stomach a little correction in a company that you believe in. Buy when everyone is selling.

Patience.

Regards,

Mark
