Wow, for some reason I thought Amazon was older than that. I do remember when they just sold books. Growing up in the Seattle area, seems like I ought to have kept up more.

11 years for me.
1999. I started to order books over the Internet from Amazon.com to Israel. |

Nov 10, 1997 I ordered 3 non-fiction books: quilting, drawing, and a book on childbirth (I was pregnant with my now 12yo). I didn't order again until almost 15 months later and have been a steady customer ever since.

Wow, time flies. I first ordered from Amazon July 11th, 1997. Picked up Voyage by Stephen Baxter in that first order along with a Visual Basic programming book. Next books after that later in the month were Cyteen and Tripoint by C.J. Cherryh.

Time certainly does fly. But I agree, it seems like they have been around forever! Congrats to them & may they continue for years to come.

Amazon has passed a lot of water since 1995, eh? Neil
