I loved the piece by W. James Antle, It describes what myself, my husband and many of my friends went through as well. Although we were more on the "geeky" side to start and many of us "played" with mainframe computers BEFORE the desktop revolution. (And I am NOT that old!).

It was indeed a "heady" time and I often questioned my own, and others' sanity to remain on active duty in the military (even if it was the Air Force) when so many peers and subordinates were getting out, joining the multitude of "dotcoms" and it seemed, making a lot of money!

p>By the time I retired, the "bloom was off the roses" and although I was doing an instructor gig at the time, even I could see (in 2001) that the jobs were disappearing as fast as patches of melting snow. br> -- Sandra Dent /p>

Mr. W. James Antle III''s article was very informative. It just shows that the dotcom boom did benefit more people than just the founder(s) of the company. It is a refreshing story and it does look like a modern day real life example of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." I just wish he had included his amount of pay at each job from beginning to end.
