Venture leader Howard Anderson is willing to take the blame. "Me. It's my fault. Me and my fellow venture capitalists," he said. Not only does he admit the frenzy of spending around Y2K helped set up the crash in technology stocks, but that he and his VC colleagues knew Y2K was never a real problem. He still sees some great prospects amid the ruins in the dot-com sector. There is a catch, though. "We could take some of these companies private and they could become profitable in year one," he said.
