The bubble occurred in the runup to Y2K and was largely forced by Arthur Anderson's cash-cow, AndersonConsulting

Andersen Consulting was not the major cause of the bubble. The major cause was a lack of critical thinking on the part of venture capital firms. ("Uh, boss, there's this company working on some Internet thingie, can we spare $700,000,000?" "Sure.")

We will disagree (although I used AA as a type, not the whole enchillada of scammers and fraudsters...)

The dotnet bunch simply didn't employ the vast majority of programmer/analysts and/or project managers; the Y2K projects did, until 1/2/2001.

There WAS a substantial minority employed by the dotcom bozos--yes.

We can agree that it was BOTH...

LOL. At the time, I was thinking I should sell gravel on-line. Gravel.com
