Graduated with a CS degree in 1996. Went to work right away for a media company helping run all their web sites. (A few dozen Ultra 2s on a FDDI network connected to NetApps. Served mostly by Apache. A couple beefier boxes serving dynamic content using Perl CGI scripts. The horrid Netscape Server to run early backend JavaScript. Management over a frame relay network. Had friends at Excite, Equinix, etc.)
(In college on the side, I ran a tiny local ISP with a couple dozen Hayes modems connected to a Livingston Portmaster. T1 uplink. A couple PCs running Linux. Before college I had been hanging out on AOL giving technical advice, and before that was using an Apple II dialing into BBS's.)
Which is all to say, I was there for all of this and this piece is pretty much spot on.
When the movie Frequency (which has a communicating across time aspect) was made in 2000, the company the screen writers went to for how to get rich by investing in the right stock? Yahoo.
