I guess I need a "retro" category here. Anyway, I found this on Slashdot this morning: The Computer Magazine Archive. Don't let the URL fool you--it's not just Atari stuff.

You can go into the Compute!'s Gazette section and download the disk for the November 1991 issue to find the only program I ever published, a C-64/128 sprite utility program called MOB Mover. The text for the accompanying article isn't present, alas. I think I got a cool $175 for that project (I had to split it with my co-author). I have no idea what anyone would do with the program these days, but hey, it's out there.

I spent a good deal of time (when I should have been fixing dinner) in the Creative Computing archive. I never saw a copy of the magazine when it was in print but I knew it was well-regarded. Browsing a few articles, I can see why. Take a gander at its review of the Apple Lisa and its preview of some weird computer called Amiga, which contained a rather amusing prediction: "For, regardless of the fact that the IBM standard is a decidedly mediocre one, the [IBM PCjr.] is bound to become the home standard."

Well... Within a decade, that prediction had become half right.
