Trivia :
As far as I can make out I started on CNET sometime in 1985-1986 judging by my saved MBXs. By the time I left CNET in the late '80s, it was in a poor state having included Amiga and Atari owners, by that time most of the 'old guard' had left and it just didn't seem as much fun.
What He Did :
Graphics. Mostly in the form of static pictures, usually movie related. Had pics published in 'Your Computer', 'C&VG' and ZZap!64 Who, as with SIR gave me a back-handed compliment by recommending my site then taking the rise, but that was Zzap for you, (bless 'em.)
Claim to COMPUNET Fame :
Well, I got myself noticed by leaving text frames on other user's sites giving mini reviews of their demos and encouraging people to d/load them. Was a regular on the infamous P-Line and set up my own site with pics that I'd done on my trusty Koala Pad. A good CNET mate, Andrew Merrill (AM12) wrote a scroller routine for me which I bolted onto the pics, calling them 'Demoettes.' The site became quite popular and I was getting oodles of votes until the day Jane sent me an MBX offering to move my site to a smaller 'GOTO' number, I accepted on the promise that I wouldn't lose my accumulated votes, Jane promised. I Logged on to the new location and yes true to her word I'd lost all my votes. Jane was brilliant about it though never once replying to any of my MBXs. There was also a bit of a campaign by other users to have my site put in the graphics Hall Of Fame, this of course fell on deaf ears but I was never given an explanation why. 'Log on to the ignorant one,' as I said at the time.
