Hahaha... Still remember when my site went live... February 26, 1996...
I had been online as a surfer before that for a whole 3 months
I seriously believe I was one of the first dozen or so sites that actually
had legal ownership of their content at that time.
First host was a local internet cafe with a 128K connection to the net...
48 hours after I had submitted to PK, the host shut me down when their
homepage was taking 30 minutes to load... heheh
Moved to the second biggest internet host in Buffalo a week later...
for a long period of time I was accounting for 10% of their total
bandwidth... all with only 3 -5K uniques average per day...
Host would quietly show my site to clients who refused to believe
them when they were told that a single site could push thru 1+ Gig
of bandwidth per day... was paying an average of $10 per Gig at
that point...
