About virtual beer

Sep 2018 29

Virtual Beer was started in the summer of 1997. I got sick of sending virtual flowers and I thought it would be cool to be able to send a friend a picture of a beer. This is the story of how virtual Beer was born!

Virtual Beer has had many helpers along the way. Everyone from the system administrators at Clarkson University, to my ex-girlfriend, and the people at ValleyNet.

If you would like to help out Virtual Beer you can do so just by clicking on one of the advertisements at the bottom of every beer you send or pickup.

You can also help Virtual Beer by put either one of these little chunks of html code in your page.

<br>You can also save the picture and put it on your own server. Either 
one will work.  The first is easier, if any changes are made to 
the image you won't have to do anything. <br>

A new person has been added to the Virtual Beer staff.  I have recruited a friend
to do some of the html work and answer 
questions. It works nice for me, I don't have to handle everything
and her spelling 
skills are much better than mine! <br><br>
