Blast From The Past: iPrint Sign
Victor Solanoy just posted his photos of the day the original iPrint neon sign was posted on Highway 101 in Redwood City. (Thanks Victor!)
(It's a bit hazy, but I think this was 1998.)
So many things had to happen for us to get to that point ... hmmm, maybe I should write a book.

There are more photos of everyone watching the sign go up. I'll update once they're up.
I think you should do the book. iPrint's is one of the silent success stories from the "Web 1.0" era, particularly as the company went public when the bubble had burst -- I'm sure there are stories to tell there. Not only was the technology in the background strong, I really think it took the lead when it came to interaction models and user experience, thanks to Royal and his persistence of continuing the kiosk metaphor into the UI. The fact that the basic UI hasn't changed in nearly 10 years testifies to that.
