Congratulations to us!

We started selling a selection of maps, and one book, online in I think 1996 or 1997 (I would have to be in NJ in my storage space to find the exact date).
In September 2000 we switched over to our current store, hosted by Yahoo! small business.
I just wanted to let you all know, and thank the many thousands of you (I would guess that about half of our sales over the years were VI related), that we just processed order number 20,000 today. Computers make it possible to see theses numbers even for small businesses like ours, and they really do add up over time.
Selling retail merchandise is really not a big part of this business (about 20% of the gross, and maybe 4% of the net revenue), but we (me and my main man Pete in NJ who does all the shipping and receiving) take pride in fast shipping and attentive customer service, and I think it shows in our repeat business and the tons of positive comments we have received over the years.
Anyway I just wanted to share our milestone with you all and take the opportunity to thank you all again.
Thanks!
