Dear Jorge,

thanks for telling me that I had created and had been running a hot dog
stand for three years 1996/98 (after having established the first system
connecting the country to the internet in 1994 and serving more than
1,500 subscribers before bigger companies started to set up "proper"
operations for which I assigned them their domains).

Actually, our hot dog stand was cheaper than US$90,000 per year.
