Am i mistaken when saying that the website's design is pretty good for 1996?

Don't be a fool, I don't see a single <blink> tag. How can this be considered "good"???

No starry background, either. How are we supposed to know it's in Cyberspace?

The layout is good enough, but the graphic design is still painfully amateurish.

Always fascinating to go back in time. Have a look at Twilio http://web.archive.org/web/20081216031744/http://www.twilio....

What's interesting is the consistency of message to this day - simplicity, pay as you go, no Shenanigans Pricing, no contract.

While 2008 is technically "back in time" the OP is interesting because technologically 1996 was another era. 2008 was a few years ago. "To this day" indeed.

Another era but, more important, another service...

They launched with the domain getdropbox.com and only after being succesful they were able to buy the real dropbox.com from the previous owner.

> Dropbox was founded in 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi, two MIT students tired of emailing files to themselves to work from more than one computer.
