As I recall, you numbers are correct, I was also invited to the IPO, but since I'm not an US citizen - the SEC made me jump through many hoops before I was allowed to buy something. I've never been much of an administrative minded person so I got bored halfway and never got around to buy any. I actually went through all of the doc-com bubble and y2k-mania without any substantial personal financial gain.

A few of my classmates from my university registered a funny domain name and made something that could be mistaken for a website, consisting mostly of static html-pages and sold that to some venture capitalists and they are still living of the capital from that sale.

So unlike you, I'm still kind of bitter about my missed VA-linux IPO....
