...how long the dot-com boom lasted. I mean, a lot of people saw the writing on the wall very early on. But when things didn't start crumbling down right away, it became easier to believe that maybe the economy had changed.

If you were in a high-tech field, I think it took a lot of character to withstand the peer-presure that built up over that time.
