The Faces Behind The Names | Here it follows a brief description of the persons in charge at Tri-Micro, just as report in Plus Exchange 1986 3:
Maria Andrade* -- As President of Tri Micro, I have duties beyond those demanded by the Plus Exchange. Since I work with some form of the software daily, I have usually encountered any problems you might have long before you ever discovered they were there. Doing my best with our new staff to cross-train them in this knowledge of operation of the machine and software. One request, please, do not call directory assistance for my home number when the office is closed and ake me up at 6:00 AM on Sunday morning! (It really happened.) (* Johnson, David W.'s wife)
Sharon Fullen -- Some of you may already have spoken with Sharon on the phone. Since Sharon has joined our organization, the order processing is much improved and the new systems she has helped establish have minimized errors. Always available to answer questions and take your orders, Sharon is still learning some of the more technical material. You can be certain, however, that if you give her a problem, it will be tracked down and resolved.
Allison Gibson -- The daughter of one of our members, Allison already owned a Plus 4 before joining our staff and is somewhat familiar with the problems you encounter. She has a love-hate relationship with her computer, an ambivalence probably shared by many of us when we first started computing. New to the organization, her initiative in handling questions and problems will get you an answer.
David Johnson -- Dave is co-founder and Chairman of Tri Micro, whose major responsibilities are in software development. The author of the built-in software on the Plus 4, he is also responsible for developing the product on the C-64, the C-128, and the Atari. Additionally, Dave has been working on enhancements for the Plus 4 and supervising other programmers. Occasionally, if a particularly technical question comes in, Dave is torn away from his systems to answer the question.
Richard (Dick) Ollins -- Vice-President of Tri Micro, Dick also has duties beyond those of the Plus Exchange, although the Exchange has become one of his major project. Dick has worked with the software extensively and can usually answer questions regarding any strange "things" you may be encountering. He has done the troubleshooting on the hardware and is the person to answer questions regarding modems, specific pin-out references, schematics, etc.
Various Support People and Programmers -- Some of these are employees of Tri Micro, others are independent contractors to Tri Micro. Their time is divided between various activities, of which one is Plus Exchange. |
