Do not lose heart, though, because the show did reveal some interesting new products which should soon be winging their way to the U.K. First off, the people trom Melbourne House were there pro: ‘moting their software and books and also publishing some for ‘theoming titles.

The software operation developed from Ivan Berg Associates, which had been Publishing ‘audio cassettes of childrens’ stories, scripts and documentaries since 1963, In the nine years since then, Ivan Berg ex- plains, the company “gained a lot (of experience of negotiating, pro- ducing cassettes”.

A vwo-casette package costs £9.50, and each package contains a lot of information.

Alot of care goes into the design of the packaging and instructions to go with each package, and again, Ber feels this is the way the market is moving, “Youcan't get away with just pop- ping a cassette in a polythene bag along with poor photocopied documentation” ‘Thecompany’s philosophy of “doing one thing as wellas weean"” aso lay bend the decision to cater only for the VIC-20, seen as the best machine forthe price that was, ‘on the market atthe time, “Commodore got it, more right than anyone else with the VIC", says Berg.
