all the hype leading up to that was so absurd. When it was unveiled, I was like a kid at Christmas getting socks and apples.

Granted, in retrospect, we all got PT Barnum'd but in sort of fairness, one of the big Silicon Valley VCs said it was going to be bigger than the Internet and, by that point, the Internet had exploded into being as awesome as advertised so we were willing to suspend our skepticism a little.

Lesson learned.
