1994 - The Internet Ice Age Pioneer
Atlantic Financial always saw the Internet as simply another tool to help
customers never as the end all be all of business existence or a get rich quick
scheme.
Just like phones, paper, mail, bricks and mortar and PCs, the
Internet is a tool, nothing more, nothing less.
Atlantic Financial's
recognition of this is why we grew prudently and thrived despite the dot com
shakeup.

 |
In December of 1994 Bruce Fenton founds Atlantic Financial and Atlantic
Financial's
first website is created.
At the time there are very few investment firms of any kind on the world wide
web, certain discount firms had been on the Internet for some time in a format
knows as BBS's, or Bulletin Board Systems in 1994 even very few of these
pioneers had sites on the World Wide Web.
Today the www is synonymous with
the Internet itself.
This website is one of Atlantic Financial's earliest renditions, it was
created by Bruce Fenton and some very smart MIT graduates who founded their own
web company.
It seems funny to look at now, but this site was actually
relatively high tech for its time. |
1995
 |
Another Internet pioneer,
Yahoo is shown here with an early rendition of their site.
At the time
you could "tour Yahoo" by simply clicking every link they had.
As more and
more sites were added, this became harder to do and one day impossible.
Yahoo has never looked back by 1995 days of being able to tour Yahoo were gone
for good. |

In 1996 the Internet started to become
