The new millennium was the year Microsoft was ordered to bifurcate, dot-coms tanked on Wall Street, WorldCom's Bernie Ebbers saw his merger mania capped and Napster scared the recording industry nearly to death. 2000 was a cascading waterfall of events that ended any doubts about the Net's ability to change the way we think, learn, play and do business.
