In one of life's neat ironies, Pair was my company's second advertising
client, back when coder.com made all of its money from web ads on The
Banner Generator (circa 1996). They paid for our second server, which is
still in use (running perl-magick, for the perl content of this message).
Since then, I've used pair for hosting, and have been very happy with
them.
