As you can see, the magazine paid $300 for the article. That was a good chuck of change back in 1983. Many of my friends at the time were working part-time jobs and not taking home that much in a month. Of course, I wasn't publishing an article every month, but it was still a nice return on the time I spent working on the code and writing the article... I received the postcard in June of 1983, but the article wasn't published until the November, 1984, issue of 80 Micro. I don't recall any other of the articles I had published taking anywhere near that long between acceptance and publication... Looking at the article and the code, I'm impressed by what the 21-year-old me accomplished!
