Here are some (uncredited) articles I wrote in 1996/97 for Learn2.com. I was also a producer who helped get that Web site up and running in those early days of the Internet. The company was long ago bought out by another company in another state which assumed the brand name but left the initial idea behind. Nevertheless, some of the pieces I worked on remain online, if you know where to look. The site was ranked by Yahoo Internet Life Magazine as the “Most Incredibly Useful Site of 1997.”
