On March 9, 1994 - just months before yow.com would be registered - the internet was still in its infancy. There were only about 3,000 websites in existence, and most people accessed the web through 14.4kbps dial-up modems. Today, you're visiting a domain that has survived 30+ years of that incredible evolution.
