Yep.
It's so funny.
All the reviews of the iPad people were like, you can't hook up USB storage to the iPad.
I'm like, I haven't used a USB thumb drive in like five years.
I don't care.
My biggest complaint is the lack of SCSI.
That's a teaser quote right there.
Welcome to season three, episode eight of Acquired the Show about technology acquisitions and IPOs.
I'm Ben Gilbert.
I'm David Rosenthal and we are your hosts.
Today we are talking about a company that somehow, somehow, David, we have not covered on the show yet, Netflix.
And we're breaking this one into two parts.
Today we'll be covering the founding of the company up through the IPO and the waning years of their DVD business.
And then next episode we'll pick up at the take off of streaming and original content.
David, I could not believe this when diving in that the Netflix IPO was 16 years ago and it was founded 21 years ago.
Yeah.
Crazy.
All these FAANG companies, they're getting old.
I know.
I mean, I did not realize that it was a pre.com bubble in my head.
