This was when I figured I could make a little money on the side while practicing law. 4 months later, I realized there was a lot more out there...

If only I knew then, what I know now.

CyberErotica. I was working for them at the time and had just got my own domains. Sent all my traffic to them. I think the first check was about $700 which was more than I had put into the biz by then

On the internet side of things CCBill sent my first one for our website back in 2000 or so

My first check in the adult industry was hand written to me by Randy West for $2400 for 3 hours worth of work....damn, those were the days

In the biz it would have been VCX, online DMR.

If you did, you might do things differently and not have ended up where you are!

I love how ignorant we all were back then ... when everybody was learning. 10 years ago might not be long in evolution, but the technologies we've been involved with, designed, invented, perfected, broken etc have changed the way the world operates.

In 50 years, we won't remember the details ... just that we were all pioneers in the way the world communicates.

That I will agree with for sure. There are several of you that defined niches as well as business practices. How many times in your life do you get to do that?
