Still, the author did have assistance from such luminaries as Ross Greenberg, Pamela Kane, and Ray Glath-- and apparently didn't take much advantage of it. (In fact it is amusing to compare the interviews and articles with the real researchers to earlier passages in the book. Spot the contradictions!) The interviews are probably the most interesting part of the book at this late date. That, and the lists of "reviews" of software that doesn't exist anymore. copyright Robert M.
