Title

Now PB Central at PBCentral.com

Description

PBCentral.com went live in December, 1996 as a little-known website called PowerBook Classified Advertising, hosted on America Online. The founder, Steve Hildreth, began the site in frustration over the chaos of ads in newsgroups. Coded on a PowerBook 165c, PowerBook Classified Advertising grew in popularity and soon had hundreds of ads. During the following year, other features were added to the site, including a buyer's guide and specifications.

In the Spring of 1998, PowerBook Classified Advertising changed its name to PowerBook Central to reflect its broadening content. At the same time, PowerBook Central moved from AOL to a dedicated server with its own domain. Soon after, PowerBook Central added many new features to become more competitive in the marketplace, including a new classified ad system. During this time period, PowerBook Central was coded on a PowerBook 1400c/233MHz G3.

In 1999, PowerBook Central began tracking PowerBook prices from all the major Apple Authorized Resellers. This soon grew in popularity, and the price trackers began receiving nearly as much traffic as the classified ads. During this time period, PowerBook Central was coded on a 1999 Lombard PowerBook G3/400.
