QB Express: Issue #24

After a lengthy hiatus, the collaborative QBasic scene mag "QB Express" is back, and is now in the second issue of its new run. This issue features the results of the "Qlympics", a best-of-the-community event covering releases between the start of 2003 to mid 2006.

I started out in the QB scene, so seeing all this new content leaves me feeling a little nostalgic. The magazine has an open submission policy, and needs new contributions on a monthly basis. If you have a bit of free time and feel the same way as me, why not help them out? If you're stuck for something to submit, there's a thread on Pete's QB site for article requests here.
