I don't know - it also went away with the bust. I picked CS as my major shortly after the bust and everyone advised me against it. Between the bust and outsourcing I was told I would be making minimum wage.

And, welp, here we are.

You're actually reinforcing my point about the change in the industry. Many of the people who came up in tech prior to the mid-90's didn't care of the industry was in boom or bust mode: they just wanted to work in/with tech. I completely understand those who got into it because they saw it purely through a financial lens, but that's a different subset of people in tech.
