    Jeff Bezos started hiring for Amazon 24 years ago. Hard to imagine how nascent the Internet was at that stage.

        I bought my first share of Amazon about 20 years ago, when it was $17. Made a killing when I sold for $35.

        I worked for an Amazon contractor early on and so was aware of them before most. I loved them but was unsure about their long-term prospects because I didn’t think that many people would be comfortable shopping online. OH HOW WRONG I WAS.

        Lol, oh man, 24 years ago I got online a few times and was bored to death by it. Went back to playing with fonts in PageMaker, which was *much* more fun.

        I thought Amazon was amazing back then. Any book I wanted. Now I'm scared of them

        Don't need to imagine, I was there. Dial ups, email systems that didn't connect, slow loads, "internet malls", etc ... Jeff won because he got a LOT of capital and moved from Ingram/B&T to his own warehouses. The money is what mattered. The rest could be bought.
