History
Blogspot started with a $500 PC purchased at the Palo Alto Fry's and was up & running that night:
"September 2000: Me and @ev jumped in my car in SF and drove to the Palo Alto Fry's to buy a $500 Celeron-powered HP home computer that was on sale. We booted it up back in the office, installed Apache, and it started serving up every early *.blogspot.com site that evening." @mathowie, February 24, 2021
The original Blogspot server’s machine name was Gutenburg:
"Here’s the machine today (in my garage). I think we served 10k’s of blogs off that sucker. Good times."@ev, February 24, 2021
