- brudgers 13y agoThat is the one. Thank you. It made me miss the dead tree Dr. Dobbs.
- SimHacker 13y agoDr. Dobbs was wonderful, and I really looked forward to it every month. Ray Valdez wrote a good contract that said I retained the copyright, so I could republish it myself later, which was nice thing for him to do without me even thinking to ask. And Creative Computing was a great computer magazine, too!
- brudgers 13y agoWhat struck me as I reread the article was that it had been through a rigorous editorial process. No cruft. That clarity is why it stuck with me twenty years on. It always seemed wrong to throw magazines away, at least so long as they were packed up early as I prepared to move. About 1997 my computer magazines were not. After the books had been boxed, I'd had enough heavy lifting. Now few articles get read twice. Somewhere in a box in Orlando though there may still be a copy of Deskview X.
