Internet History for the early years of the web.

Atlantic Financial became started as a pioneer in the early days of the world wide web.

Bruce Fenton founded Atlantic Financial in 1994.
This page outlines some basics of the history, archive, websites, business plans, and the historical, boom of the dot com market.

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.
