Both individual customers as well as state and private sector were interested in computers and new technologies. The 90's was also the time of prosperity for a lot of small private companies. Young entrepreneurs did not have good examples to follow and ready-made solutions which they could use. Each new entrepreneur had to put a lot of work and time to gradually learn to develop business in the new economic order.
