125433 2003-03-04 04:05:00 hey all,
just a few questions to test your knowledge (no i dunno the answers lol)

- who was the first company to ship computers with internal modems in NZ & when?
- was yahoo the first "internet portal site"?
- was amazon the first of the online companies to make it big?

its really differcult to find information so if any of you could point me in the right direction that'd be cool =)

125436 2003-03-05 00:29:00 Amazon have made a profit! (but they owe lots) (money.cnn.com). For another opinion, I like this (www.satirewire.com). Graham L (2)

Depends what you mean by "make it big". I reckon AOL was probably the first to become hugely successful - but I guess being an ISP helped a bit.
