I got into Vettes as a way to relax.  Taking the Vette out is the ONLY thing that makes me forget about work.
When I was young I was in the Jaycees, and we had projects that generated cash, then donated it to needy charities.
It was during the Draft, so all of us eventually went into the military.  I joined the Navy in 1969 and  decided to stay in... retiring from the Navy as an Office Manager in 1989.  I had been into computers since the kit computers in 1974, and used a computer and a copier to run a Model Train business out of the Barracks and a Mini-Winnie motor home during the 80's.

As '286 computers with floppy drives led to '386 computers with 10 MB hard drives, then led to '486 computers with 20 MB hard drives and CD-Rom drives, Steve Bress and I wrote the first Streaming Digital Audio software application, and became one of the first 12 CD-Rom publishers in 1991-92.
I supported CD-Rom Expo #1 in D.C. and #2 the following year in Tokyo.  People were lined-up around the block to get in to the show.
As a software publisher, Magic Multimedia Inc. created 21 different software products that were sold worldwide through Software Distributors and Retail Chain Stores such as Frye's Electronics, Electronics Boutique, Best Buy, and many other retail outlets, even K-mart had a software section next to the music department.

In 1995-96, we had a BBS with 4 phone lines so that employees could work from home on snow days.  Other BBSs around had only 1 or 2 lines.  Within a year, this grew to 16 lines, then 32, then 64, then 255 lines in 1997.  (Big! in those days...)
In 1998, PRI lines and Terminal Servers were invented, and we paid to have access from different Area Codes.  In 1998-99, our Internet Access Network went nationwide and stood as large as AOL, CompuServe, MSN, Earthlink. 
The big difference:  People who join 1USA are treated as a person, not a charge card number.

The first email-transmittable computer virus was the Melissa Virus in May 1999, and we were the first of all those competitors to write software to protect the customers.  1USA protected its customers on the same day.  As a comparison, Verizon didn't protect their customers until 14 months later... after their customers started "dropping like flies".  People across the USA were switching to 1USA to be better protected while online. 
To this day, 1USA still has a better, faster, more secure network than the others, and offers different types of Internet Connections depending on what's available in different areas of the USA.

By 1999, the market had changed from selling software on CD-ROMs to downloading software via the internet.  The company had some downloadable software products over the years, but was more interested in developing secure website servers... and delivering content securely via the internet.
The nationwide backbone still provides nationwide Dialup service and Broadband DSL service.  The equipment gets updated every 2-3 years to stay as the fastest internet connections available, and it runs trouble-free for months on end.

In 2005, a local ISP competitor went out of business, and 1USA ended up with a lot of their clients, including the Skyline Drive Corvette Club website.  I went to the Skyling meetings to gather information to put onto the website, and was introduced as "Here's BarryZ, he's our Webmaster but Vette-less".
I fixed that problem by finding a 15-yr old very unique 1990 Greenwood Corvette with 6,554 miles on it.  The Corvette itself has a story that involves the John Greenwood LeMans race car history, and other 'old timers' of the time... like Ralph Eckler of Eckler's wholesale car parts etc. 
Back in those days, everybody knew everyone else.

I enjoy teaching, sharing, sharing information, building and promoting websites for companies, promoting Corvette events, and giving back to the community - via a long list of non-profit organizations that I belong to.
Over the years, I've gotten good at Advertising, Marketing and Promotions. (A talent first learned in the late 60's.)
In 2010, 1USA became a Members Benefit for 56,000 SCCA members across the USA (www.scca.com), and I took off a few days in April 2010 to become certified as a SCCA Solo Safety Steward.
When a company hires 1USA to build and develop their company website, they get the most powerful website available anywhere, and expensive technical expertise for pennies on the dollar.
