While at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas I was talking with Bill Margold at the Free Speech Coalition booth. I happened to mention I was off to do an interview and Bill said, "Why don't you interview Danni Ashe? She Invented the Internet and she's right next door!"

Danni was signing in the next booth with Anna Malle and Christi Lake. I spoke with her briefly and arranged to meet back in L.a. When the convention was over.

Monday January 24, 2000: I found myself in a beautiful lobby on the second floor of a building in Culver City, CA. The elegant décor and the professional atmosphere were impressive. I was greeted by Danni's assistant Janice who said Danni was in a meeting and would be right with me.

In a few minutes Danni came out and gave me a tour of her facility. In spite of her being dressed casually and wearing no makeup, she was petite, voluptuous and strikingly beautiful! I also found her to be articulate with obvious business savvy.

She took me through the office area, the studios where the live feeds are shot, told me about the [then] upcoming Boob Bowl (related story) and other ventures, ending the tour in a conference room with pictures, articles and framed memorabilia on the walls. When Danni went out to get us something to drink I had a chance to look around and found there were articles about her from the Wall Street Journal, magazine covers, and artwork around the room.

AINews: That is cool. [Pointing to a framed manual.] you have an Html manual autographed and framed.

Danni: Yes! I mentioned it in a couple of interviews and the author of the book apparently started getting calls from people saying Danni's talking about you're book, so he wrote to me and said how excited he was to hear [I was using it] and sent me an autographed copy.

AINews: That's fantastic!

Danni: Yes, he was very nice about it.

AINews: How did you get the idea for "Danni's Hard Drive"?
