Dragon Trade Services
Will Moore, founder and owner of Dragon Trade Services, founded Acorn Enterprises International, Inc. (AEI) , a Washington, D. C., U. S. A., full-service computer consulting firm, in 1995, to take advantage of what he envisioned as the up-coming Web mania, which did indeed erupt early the following year.

AEI grew to service more than 600 customers. Its departments included: Troubleshooting (the backbone of the company), Web site development, Networking, Database programming, Training, Cabling, and Headhunting.
AEI was the first company to put a radio program on the Internet, at least in the Washington, D. C. area (we weren't aware of any others anywhere), in early 1996, for Ellen Ratner, national political radio personality; that site (no longer maintained by AEI) is still up and running, at Talk Radio News. Our trouble-shooting customers included several billion-dollar corporations, such as MCI.
Mr. Moore also positioned the company, beginning in 1997, to take advantage of what became Y2K mania, assembling in his Headhunting division a database of more than 800 technicians, and placing programmers and administrators in a number of companies.
Mr. Moore was president and sole stockholder of AEI until its sale to its chief technician, in early year 2000 - when Mr. Moore moved to Taiwan, to pursue his life-long interest in China and to position himself as a consultant prior to China's joining the World Trade Organization.
Today AEI continues to provide computer services in Washington, D. C.'s greater metropolitan area, including adjacent states Maryland and Virginia. AEI's new owner re-incorporated and changed the company's name (for liability purposes caused by Y2K concerns), and downsized the company to General Consulting and Database Programming departments (to cohere with his simpler business style).
