Pr0 I stumbled into adult internet business on a lark, in my second year of law school in 1996. I basicly started company with a dial up account, I hosted on my account ( did not last to long! haha). I put a computer p-90 with 32 megs of RAM, and a scanner on my discover card ( the scanner was a 3 pass color scanner, would take 10 minutes to scan one photo). I also started in my bedroom at my moms house!

The old days there were no rules, no one knew anything - I had no idea how to make money from the business.... and when I did, I thought I could make 2-3k a month doing it as a hobbie.

Well fast forward to 2002, now own a building where the company is headquartered, have 19 full time employees, and still hanging in there.

To start off fresh, I think a person can make a decent living. But a "decent living" is a vague term. Some people are happy to make 2k a month.... especially if there other options are flipping burgers at McDonalds.

Someone coming back to the business has a better chance to make it back again. But it depends on what they are trying to accomplish... it also helps to have some old friends in the business still who can help out.

I miss the good old days, there was not as much money as golden years - but it was an EXCITING time....
