"I never tire of reading stories about the crazy schemes people actually invested in back in the day of the Dot-Com bubble.
Ellen McCarthy wrote a great story about "Dot-Com Bombs" for the October 28th Washington Post Business Section.
In it, she touched on a few of the more bizarre schemes of the Kool-Aid-drenched era, like KaoticSpace.com - its pitch was that it would string together a network of powerful telescopes and beam live images of deep space onto the internet.
Now, they didn't explain how the viewer could tell it was anything other than a still photo - I mean, not a whole lot changes in deep space in real time that an Earthling can observe.
But no matter.
The view would be free for you and me, but advertisers would pay - so said the KaoticSpace.com prospectus - big bucks to have their logos displayed over the view of the heavens.
They raised $30.8 million in venture capital before they crashed and burned."
A name that raised $38,000,000.00 should be able to raise a few $DNF
Name is at GoDaddy expires 10-30-2005
