AFAIK, it costs a lot more money to have any start and operate a
e-commerce business than a telephone. What is the motivation to spend
that much money? Internet hype?

Maybe that is because I am not a native English speaker. Maybe if I
change the word "caused" by the word "triggered" in my sentence it will
be more accurate.
Anyway, other than that, I read the messages ahead and it sounds that
most people really forget the series of events that started NASDAQ
crash. Maybe these links will remind you what happen after April 3,
2000:
Bad news started here:
http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/04/03/technology/microsoft/
The day after:
http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2000/04/04/technology/special_techstocks/
If you were on vacation then and did not notice how did that happen,
there's one more reason to blame Microsoft! :-)
