ACKNOWlIDGMENTS
No book
is
ever the work
of
just the authors and,
of
course, this book
is
no exception.
We
would like to express
our
thanks
to
the following
people without whose help this work would never have become a reality:
Michael Tomczyk, whose enthusiasm and insight during a brief meet-
ing in Santa Clara got the whole thing started.
Bill Hindorff, whose technical assistance helped clarify many
of
the
lesser known aspects
of
the VIC 20.
Larry Ercolino, who provided a first-hand encounter in VICommuni-
cations and a seemingly never-ending supply
of
support and information.
There were many others who also provided help when
we
needed it
the most, and often
at
times that were quite inconvenient. Some
of
these
are
Pat
McAllister, Jeff Hand, Andy Finkel, Neil Harris, Steve Murri,
Steven Moser, and
John
Stockman.
Finally,
we
wish
to
express
our
thanks
to
Denise Penrose whose
editorial guidance was invaluable in helping us complete this book.
