But they all came through when asked. In the summer of 1993 I had a chance to work briefly with a brilliant young graduate student named Gary Rosenzweig, who was finishing up an internship. He had a computer science degree from Drexel University and was halfway through his master's in journalism at the University of North Carolina. Creative, driven and resourceful, Gary wanted to start his own multimedia company and was eager for business. For that amount, Gary gave us three weeks of design and programming in Macintosh and Windows, and all the support and fixes we needed after that.
Many multimedia developers have great ideas but no content.
For us, that's no problem. We've got years' worth of content collecting digital dust in our electronic archives. Mostly, that proved true. However, I did end up leaving out the reviews of freelancers, from whom we had not yet procured re-publication rights. We couldn't have accommodated all of our region's restaurant reviews anyway, however.
