Yup, we got in fairly early. I participated on the Joelist email listserv when it was active in the 90s. In 1994 I think there were about 2500 web sites. In '95 about 25,000. The web really started to get some traction in about '96 with around a 250,000 sites and I was paying attention. We had a site up by mid-1998, IIRC, just before we did the second VSAC. That was right about when the web was taking another big jump, I think there were 2.5 million or so web sites by then. Of course the "explosion" was around 2000 and there are more like 1 billion today. When Audio Asylum started up in early 1999 we were their first commercial sponsor and started the Bottlehead Forum there. Aside from the forum hosting by AA I handled all of our internet presence myself, up until we redid the site and online store to it's current iteration a few years ago. The technology delta is so big now (even my 25 yo son sees how fast stuff is changing compared to when he was a little kid) that it makes more sense to have a specialist keep track of constant updates.
