I just love to show off with little trivia references of fact as to how I may help clients do good on the 'net! Do a Google search for "Internet ecommerce consultant" even without the quotes and chances are you'll likely see my personal web site 1 - 10 of about 2,520,000 other pages with that string. If you are wondering if I can do that for you too, maybe you should contact me ! Please consider surfing around my site to learn more about me and my qualifications.

1st URL advertised in a computer magazineLast Updated on Friday, 21 November 2008 03:58 Written by Joe Rinehart Friday, 14 November 2008 05:38 I was digging around archive.org (now known as the way back machine) for a copy of one of the actual ads that I authored and ran in Computer Shopper between Oct '93 and Oct '94 a couple of years before the Internet was commercial for an interview today with The Daily Kent Stater at Kent State University and found one from Oct '94.
1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper
![]() Historical 1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper At the time there were only two distributors in America selling CD-ROM discs and neither sold overseas. We saw that as an opportunity. Since the config.sys file was the first and most important file on a computer which told the system where the address for devices like CD-ROM drives were, we named the company config.sys (now known as config.com)
I've always joked that we didn't make our first gazillion dollars selling CD's because computers were not as popular as they have become today
![]() The Commerce Exchange CD The Internet became commerical in March of 1995 which was about two weeks after our Commerce Exchange was released. While sales initially went through the roof, then died just as quick since all of a sudden the merchants supporting our disc could get a web site. It was just another great idea, three months too late.This was when we evolved our company toward publishing and manipulating content on the Internet web and have been doing so ever since.... More detailed information about the history of config.com is available on our company timetable webpage
