    Bob,

    That sounds great! Looks like you've had tremendous success. Can you share some times when things didn't go so well? I enjoy reading books on business profiles & always try to learn from what worked & what didn't work when a company was forming. If you had to do it all over again, what would you change? I plan on creating a company one day that will go public.

    Best regards,
    Binh

    Hi Bob-
    I am proud to say that I am probably one of you longest subscribers - I go further back on your history than you show. When I signed on with your company, had placed flyers at IMS Computers in Plano for a new start-up Internet service called Plano Internet. The price was right, and anything had to be better than AOL! So I signed up on the spot. My email was fulwiler@plano.net. About a month later, it changed to fulwiler@dallas.net. I kept that email for many years even as a stand alone email account after I started developing a few domains.

    I have sent a lot of customers to your company over the years. Your customer service is always right on top of any problems I encounter, and happy to walk me through anything that I manage to mangle on my own and requires their help to put it back together again.

    I look forward to another 14 years and more of the same great service...
