Back in 1994 when I started Big Duck it was just me and an enormous computer with the same processing power most pencil sharpeners probably have today. Our first office was my living room, and my only employee was a black Labrador Retreiver puppy named Trout. When Trout wasn’t busy chewing up my shoes, she gave me someone to talk to and entertained visiting clients. In the early 90s, nonprofits didn’t think much about the web, and the work I did was largely print-based. I sometimes used pencils when working, and very few of my clients had email or a fax.
