The Dude Who Wrote Snood

Posted by Zonk on from the rude-but-profitable dept.

usacoder writes "The Raleigh News and Observer Lifestyle section has a story on the guy who wrote Snood, Dave Dobson. It's nice to see that shareware can still make money for some developers." From the article: "He describes the evolution of Snood into a cult attraction as a series of random events, and refers to his fame as the game's creator as third-rate celebrity. 'But,' he adds, 'I milk it for all it's worth.'"

    Dear Mr. Gates: I got a BSOD with my new Win2k upgrade. Can you fix it for me?
