Sweet deal. BTW, the old VC/Incubator firm I worked for collapsed in 2001. Even the $700M buyout for one of its projects didn't save it. Although 1998-2001 had a lot of excesses, it also had a lot of fun and exciting times. Nothing like the Dot Bomb era to make one think that one can change the world with a click of a mouse button. Very heady and strange times. Of course, now we're all a little more "realistic."
