On this day, in 1998 I started my first internet company with my friend JJ (J.Jenny). It was probably one of the first Netscape servers in Geneva, except those at CERN.
We did spend 25’000 CHF (at that time 130’000 SEK) on a Netscape Application Server running on a Compaq 5050 Desktop with an Intel 333mhz, 256mb RAM 8GB hard drive and CD/Floppy and some other nerdy goodies including two SCSI Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM hard drives, it was very fast but very expensive at the time. And we did also register two URL’s at NIC: cmb.com and cmb.ch
Yes, yes, I know that all this is a bit geeky. But I am a dude with extended eccentric and non-mainstream, expert, running my Windows 3.0, since 1990…
