Acknowledgments

Before we get started, I’d like to give special mention to the people who helped me get started back in my Apple II days: my parents, who bought the Apple II that I ended up programming (and also a printer after they saw me typing out code listings on a typewriter—that junior high typing class really paid off!); my fellow high school Apple II programmers, Dave Lyons (now actually at Apple) and Cam Clarke (who made it to Silicon Valley but left us all too early); and Mr. Leaman, the programming teacher who let us hide out in the computer lab during pep rallies. That was time well spent.
