You called it right with internet service provider. Some have asked "illinois state police"?
Was back in the dialup days. Did hosting, secure/spamfree email, and support in 50 states. Had more
phone numbers than MSN and AOL combined.... at one time. Painted myself into a corner when I set the biz up. Wanted to be the ISP that I thought all the other turds SHOULD be. Was open 7 days/wk, 9 til 9.
Lost my life, my mind, and almost my wife. Was one man show for about 7 years. DSL and cable hit
too soon after startup and I didn't yet have the customer base/income to expand. Growth dropped off
to a trickle then started to decline so I sold the customer base and moved to AZ.
Have kept the domain all these years... FastWires.net. Put a page back up just last week. See if somebody wants
to buy it... I won't use it again and it hasn't cost much to keep it alive these years. I know if I had let it expire,
I'd have seen it online the NEXT DAY for $5000! Figure I can get $750 for it quick and easy.
