There were definitely a lot of people saying that, usually after losing a lot of money with crazy investments that 'could not fail'. On actual 9/11 (that's why I remember it very well; during the meeting the CEO's secretary came in and told about a large attack on the US), I was at a large Dutch client of ours who said they will cancel all internet projects and move back to Windows only software. The CEO had lost millions listening to his accountants and investing in World Online [0] and had no faith anymore this 'web thing' would go anywhere. A large insurer who also was our client, scrapped the webbased employee benefits project they started in 1999 in favour of a Windows client.
