VIC-20 Interview Archive

I conducted these interviews in late 1996 / early 1997 when the very first VIC-20 emulators started showing up on the Internet. I wanted to begin learning some HTML but didn't have many ideas for original content. The world-wide-web was still ramping up in those days and there wasn't anything online of this type, so I made the decision to do it. I have a lot of respect for engineers in general and passion for the VIC-20 in particular, so it was great fun to contact these guys and get a thoughtful reply from them in return.

My Web Surfing Scrapbook

The VIC-20 as a cultural icon? Commodore literally manufactured millions of units for people of all ages and walks of life on multiple continents. Each image in my scrapbook has a story to tell, a couple of them are quite funny. A picture is worth a thousand words. One of photographs is Linus Torvalds.   Another genius, Konrad Zuse, proposed that physics is computation.
