This interview was originally released by mistake on January 5 when we were "off the air." We forgot to notify our handy-dandy spooling script that we were on a break and it grabbed this file and sent it out into the stratosphere. Since many of you took us at our word that we weren't shoving data into the network, we wanted to release this interview since Schwartz is certainly one of the more fascinating Geeks we've seen.

Tim O'Reilly has an unusual background for a publishing magnate. Working as a Unix consultant, O'Reilly & Associates developed a special relationship with the arcane UUCP protocols, expertise that led to a set of two pamphlets describing how to manage, set up, and use UUCP and Usenet. The original two Nutshell Guides grew into a fairly extensive set of documentation covering the X Window System, Unix, Languages, and recently a variety of Internet topics.

Carl Malamud interviews O'Reilly about how commerce can run on the Internet, looking at on-line enterprises like the Global Network Navigator as early examples of what to do (and not do) when doing business in a networked world.
