I was in junior high at the epicenter of the dot-com boom. I came home every day to watch CNBC report on the newest IPO. I remember watching VAlinux debuting and it reaching several hundreds of dollar on opening day. As a b-roll they interviewed the CEO and watched him drop his credit card bills into the mail box. He's finally able to pay off his bills now that he's worth millions on paper.

Oh how I wish I was just a bit older back then..
