One difference is most of the companies listed are old, long standing, well-performing businesses. Pets.com had potential, Apple, Amazon, and Google had large amounts of revenue even 3 years ago.

The bubble may deflate but every company mentioned will still be standing, whereas in 1999 many of them were basically Ponzi schemes relying on further investor dollars to subsidize losses.

Plenty of old companies spiked in 2000. Companies like Microsoft, Intel, or Cisco. Shovel sellers with a history of decent profits. I mean, the NASDAQ crashed, an it is not all made of start ups. You sound in denial, but there are more similarities than you seem to realise.
