Amazon AWS Free Usage Tier
1995: The best deal I could find was $1500 a month for 1mbit, (I was spending (in 1995 dollars)) $4500 for 3mbit, and I spent 5k or so building the server for what would become planetquake.com<p>What is happening now in both available (and free!) cloud computing resources and the entire lean startup mentality is so far beyond my comprehension I don't even know how to compare the two startup worlds of 1995 and 2010.<p>Lordy!
