Hmm, well I started back when computers had memory measured in kb not megs, speed was in baud rates, ... but for me the start up costs were hosting at $25 a month plus domain registration for $35 a year... internet connection was old dial up at $22 a month, so things have indeed gone way down... but the time involved has really increased... Few good avs sites back then paid for it all, not anymore... way more work involved.
