Quite a few of us got our start by writing for PC Mag. Don Box offered me a job at DevelopMentor on the basis of having read an article I wrote on ATL in PC Mag on the flight up to Microsoft to attend the COR design review in 1997 (the tech that the COM team was building that would pivot to became .NET years later). I wound up owning COM at Microsoft over a decade later. There was a wonderful community of people who made PC Magazine happen. It was fun to see their names in the credits to some of those issues. I even got a chance to meet them in person one time I was in NYC on business, sadly after they moved out of their iconic 1 Park Avenue offices.
