yes, George and I "met" on Yachting Magazine's web site in their forums - which were a mess - all html driven with pages getting well over a meg in size. Back then, in the late 90s, everyone was on dial up with many on 18K modems. I started this site just to show Yachting what was possible. They declined to change. After a while, George and I decided to start BoatFix after an arrangement I had with US Charts was canceled. We started the business and ran it for almost two years before we actually met in person. Neither one of us expected it to grow as it has.
