<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>CoffeeCup Software was started in a coffee house called “The Raven & The Sparrow” which was owned by the company's founder, Nicholas Longo. This was the only coffee house that offered free internet access in Corpus Christi, Texas, at the time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> </p><p>Since the coffee house already had the www.coffeecup.com domain name, the fledgling software company was named CoffeeCup Software and the first program was named <a href="/facts/CoffeeCup_HTML_Editor/6sBts548">CoffeeCup HTML Editor</a>. Longo posted the program on his website. Eventually, CoffeeCup began charging US$20 for the program. In 1996 Longo decided to put away the espresso machines and devote full-time attention to developing <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a>. </p><p>CoffeeCup offers a core group of programs free to schools.
