I've had a few e-mail letters published in a PC magazine or two. But that was years ago when I bothered to write.
Over 10 years ago I was a video game reviewer for a web site. It was actually a cutting edge thing to do back then. I ran into the creator of that site here and he told me that we were pioneers because the idea was new. It evolved into some other web site and I lost track of it. But I do know my reviews stayed in the archives for a very long time because of their quality.
So yeah, that is my small part in web history. How I miss DOS games.
I've had about 3 ideas turned into Dilbert strips when I submitted them to Scott Adams. He always replies with "Thanks for the idea." when he uses them. I see them in print days later.
