Tiny Personal Firewall
The first version of Tiny Personal Firewall was released on 26 July 2000. The popularity of Tiny Personal Firewall stemmed from the fact that it was fairly easy to operate, had a very small hard-disk and memory footprint, and was free for home and personal use. It was also superior to many similar products in that it monitored both outgoing and incoming connections (inexplicably, many competing personal firewalls watched only incoming traffic).
In February, 2002 the rights to the software was transferred to Kerio Technologies (formed in 2001), where the original team who developed the software under the Tiny brand continued to develop it as Kerio.
Tiny Software continued to develop a software firewall solution called Tiny Firewall v6; however, this product was not based on the original Tiny Personal Firewall. On December 17, 2004 it was announced that it would be released as Tiny Personal Firewall 2005.
On June 27, 2005 Tiny Software was acquired by Computer Associates; since then their CA Personal Firewall was promoted as being "based on Tiny Software technology".

Famous quotes containing the words tiny and/or personal:
“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
The outward functions of intelligent man.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“What stunned me was the regular assertion that feminists were “anti-family.” . . . It was motherhood that got me into the movement in the first place. I became an activist after recognizing how excruciatingly personal the political was to me and my sons. It was the women’s movement that put self-esteem back into “just a housewife,” rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of “instinct” and making it human, deliberate, powerful.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
