In a nutshell, I have an extensive background with Internet ecommerce solutions which precede the commercialism of the Internet. I'm very proud of that fact and chances are, more than you wish to know about me is within or linked from this web site. I've included both my professional e-commerce and personal family information on this web site to make it easier for people to contact me.
There are several ways my last name can be misspelled include: Reinhart, Rhinehart, Rinehardt, Rineheart, Rhineheart, Reinhardt, however, the surname I was born with is Rinehart.

I was digging around archive.org (now known as the way back machine) for a copy of one of the actual ads that I authored and ran in Computer Shopper between Oct '93 and Oct '94 a couple of years before the Internet was commercial for an interview today and found one from Oct '94.
1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper
Usually when I tell people about my 15 minutes of fame according to Andy Warhol they'll respond "but we all know that Al Gore invented the Internet". I'll smile and respond I don't claim to have invented the 'net, or wish to take anything away from either Al Gore or Tim Berners-Lee, just having attempted to captilize on it as ethically as possible at the time through traditional print media instead of spam (still a bad thing), for which I'm very proud to have been at the right place at the right time in history.
Historical 1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper
We were selling screaming fast single spin CD-ROM drives and maintained the largest selection of discs - LOL
At the time there were only two distributors in America selling CD-ROM discs and neither sold overseas. We saw that as an opportunity. Since the config.sys file was the first and most important file on a computer which told the system where the address for devices like CD-ROM drives were, we named the company config.sys (now known as config.com)
I've always joked that we didn't make our first gazillion dollars selling CD's because computers were not as popular as they have become today
The Commerce Exchange CD
An interesting turn in our company also occurred in Oct of 1994 when I produced a CD-ROM disc called "The Commerce Exchange" which the idea was to distribute commercial catalogs bundled with what was the largest game collection available via "electronic marketing" (now known as search engine optimization (SEO) and in those days it was conducted in the USENET newsgroups instead of web pages) via the Internet. It was taboo to use the Internet for commerce in those days, but we found that if we provided Information, it was viewed differently much like advertising supporting a newspaper so we established one of the oldest commercial newsgroups alt.cdrom.reviews which was well accepted in those pre-commercialism of the 'net days.
The Internet became commerical in March of 1995 which was about two weeks after our Commerce Exchange was released. While sales initially went through the roof, then died just as quick since all of a sudden the merchants supporting our disc could get a web site. It was just another great idea, three months too late.This was when we evolved our company toward publishing and manipulating content on the Internet web and have been doing so ever since....
I'm very pleased to introduce our latest client RestorationVIP.com water damage extraction service from Miami, Florida!
I was first hired to perform a Search Engine Optimization web site
review to help make it easier for people who need emergency water
damage extraction services from hurricanes, floods, fires, and other
natural disasters to find them easier. Upon implementing my

Grandtec surveillance IP wifi webcam
In the early days proceeding the Internets commercialism between 1993 and 1994 I used to review CD-ROM discs and in fact founded the usenet newsgroup alt.cd-rom.reviews. Upon discussing this history with a client called Practical Solutions who markets web cameras for surveillance manufactured under the trade name GrandTec by GH Plastic Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of Taiwan it was suggested a review of a web camera might be a lot of fun.
I
agreed to offer my unbiased opinion without compensation or fee other
than I'd not have to ship the web camera back and could keep it for a
momento of my web came review. A couple of weeks later the best model
manufactured by GrandTec called the "Grand Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera" was
delivered by my United States Postal carrier. My 10 year old son
Jeremiah was impressed with the stamps promoting the 2008 Olympics in
Beijing China with Chinese characters

I've been helping e-commerce clients with their Search Engine Optimization since the early days of Yahoo. As the years have past we've (config.com) been receiving more frequent emails and telephone calls regarding how to repair public relations damage by a competitor, disgruntled client, former employee, or to get a web page with undesired information out of the search engines which may show up highly on the engines, and most often, specifically Google....
A business peer Jeff Billman and I were converting our web sites to the Joomla content management system, Jeff had beat me to replacing the default images. When I first saw his web site, he had a picture of the Cleveland Ohio skyline which I told him was really cool.
We discussed how being within 30 miles of Cleveland we were often considered to be suburban Cleveland. Even the candy company LifeSaver s mentions that Clarence Crain was from Cleveland, Ohio. In reality Clarence was a candy maker from Garrettsville, Ohio in Northeastern Portage County, about 30 miles South and slightly East of Cleveland.
