×E STARTED WITH ÊUST ÓTEVEN AND É AS STAFF AND HAVE ADDED ÇAELYNE AS EDITOR.
×E ARE AT PRESENT LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO WRITE REGULAR ARTICLES
OR COLUMNS OR EDIT SPECIFIC AREAS. ÆOR EDITING SPECIFIC AREAS WE WOULD GIVE
PREFERENCE TO SOMEONE WITH ACCESS TO ÆÉÄÏ NET MAIL.

ÇUESS THIS NOW COMES DOWN TO ME. ÊACK ÖANDER ×HITE, OR MORE PROPERLY ÁLFRED
ÊOHN ÖANDER ×HITE ÉÉÉ. ÈAVE USED ÊACK FOR 56 YEARS SO GUESS É'M STUCK WITH
IT. ×ORKED 12 YEARS FOR ÕNITED ÐRESS ÉNTERNATIONAL AS ÂUREAU ÁSSISTANT,
PHOTOGRAPHER, ÂUREAU ÍANAGER, WRITER, EDITOR, TECHNICIAN. ×ORKED 7 YEARS FOR
ÔHE ÓACRAMENTO ÂEE AS AN EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHER. ÏWNED ÉMAGE ×EAVERS 
ÐUBLISHING ÃOMPANY AND ÂOOKSTORES FOR SEVERAL YEARS UNTIL É SOLD OUT. ÈAVE
WORKED IN ÃHARITY FIELD FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. 

ÓTARTED IN TELECOMMUNICATION IN 1956 WHEN IT WAS BY TELETYPE AND CODE TAPE. 

ÉN THOSE DAYS A FAX MACHINE WAS HUGE AND A PORTABLE PICTURE TRANSMITTER 
WEIGHED IN AT 120 POUNDS. ÐORTABLE TRANSMITTERS WENT DOWN TO 40 POUNDS AND É 
WAS OVERJOYED. ÒIDING ALONG IN A CAR ONE DAY OUR CHIEF ENGINEER TOLD ME HE 
WAS WORKING ON A NEW PORTABLE THAT WOULD BE THE SIZE OF A PORTABLE TYPEWRITER 
AND É COULD WEAR IT IN A SHOULDER BAG. É THOUGHT HE WAS NUTS. ÁFTER ALL, WE 
HAD ALREADY TRANSISTORIZED THE MACHINES AND WERE USING PLUG IN BOARDS. É 
THOUGHT WE HAD REACHED THE LIMIT. É'VE NEVER REPEATED THAT MISTAKE AS É HAVE 
WATCHED EVERYTHING SHRINK SMALLER AND SMALLER. ÂEFORE É LEFT, THE TELETYPE 
OPERATORS WERE GONE. ÓTORIES AND MESSAGES WERE SENT FROM DESK TOP TERMINALS. 
ÔHE DARKROOM PEOPLE WERE GONE. ÐICTURE RECEPTION AND TRANSMISSION WERE 
AUTOMATIC. ×ITH LASERS YET.

ÍOST OF WHAT'S ON THIS DISK IS FROM FILES É CAPTURED HERE AND THERE. ÒEWROTE.
ÃOMBINED. ÐUT INTO TEXT FILES FOR ÂÂÓ USERS. É CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE SOURCE
OF MUCH OF IT. ÈOPE É DIDN'T VIOLATE ANY COPYRIGHTS.

ÔHE PROGRAMS ARE FROM ALL THREE OF US AND TWO FROM ×ILL ÃORLEY. 
 
ÔHE GRAPHIC LOGO IS FROM ÓTEVEN AS ARE THE MAJORITY OF THE PROGRAMS. ÔHE
MENU SYSTEM IS ONE HE WHIPPED TOGETHER FOR THIS DISK. ÈE PUT IN A LOT OF NEAT 
FEATURES. Á SEQUENCE READER AND PRINTER. ÐROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS. ÏTHER LITTLE 
GOODIES. ÈE'S GREAT AT PROGRAMMING, BUT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT TURNING ANYTHING 
LOOSE AS A FINISHED PRODUCT.  ÈE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN PUTTING SOMETHING OUT AND 
THEN MAKING A REVISION LATER. ÔHATS WHY THE ÖISIONPAINT PROGRAM WAS IN TEST 
FOR WELL OVER TWO YEARS BEFORE HE RELEASED IT.

ÏN THE OTHER HAND HE ISN'T THE GREATEST DOCUMENT WRITER IN HISTORY. ÔHAT'S 
WHY É'M THE EDITOR AND HE'S THE PROGRAM EDITOR. ×E SORTA COMPLEMENT EACH 
OTHER. ÅVERY TIME É TRY TO WRITE A PROGRAM WE WIND UP ON THE PHONE SO É CAN 
PICK HIS BRAIN TO DEBUG WHAT É WROTE.
