Ha ha, very similar story. I was working with one of the guys that I managed, and he showed me a book relevant to our project that I decided I needed to buy. “Darn, can’t get away at lunch today to hit the bookstore.” He says: “Order it from Amazon.” so I say: “What is Amazon?” him: “It’s a web store. Here is the URL.” me: “I don’t have a web browser”. Him: “ftp the tarball for Mosaic from NCSA and do the standard ./configure; make all; and you will be good to go.” Here is the thing that really impresses me about Bezos. In a world where Sili Valley engineers were spreading Mosaic by word of mouth and just getting to about 50% penetration among engineers, Amazon was already a store.
