I was a big fan of Kozmo (and its NYC competitor UrbanFetch) but it was an entirely different kind of experience shopping on an EGA monitor with a dialup connection and I understand why it wasn't as easy to make it work.
- rrdharan 11y agoI find it very dubious that you had an EGA monitor hooked up to a machine capable of surfing the Internet, in the very late 1990s/early 2000s.
- CPLX 11y agoI can't get away with hyperbole on HN huh? Ah well ;-)
- anthonybsd 11y agoEGA monitor in mid-late 2000? Nonsense :) Not to mention both websties were a breeze to use at the time when Amazon was meh-ish. I did miss urbanfetch and kozmo when they went out of business though. They had the most massive DVD sale ever.
