The valley was just as stupid back then. I remember these butterfaces cruising Palo Alto/Redwood City/Mountain view for a 'soon to be' internet millionaire. It was just fucking terrible. When dotcom blow up hit I remember feeling like I had the most stable job as a post graduate fellow making $38,000/yr - LOL.
