There's no doubt that Magnavox would not have been anywhere in the video game market without you to begin with, so it's interesting to hear your tale of preventing O2's cancellation. Your book sounds like a fascinating read! I guess I'm going to have to get my hands on a copy of it. Thanks again! Ralph,
