THE AUTHOR

London born Peter Mackeonis became a venture capitalist in 1981 when, knowing nothing about computers he invested in a software company that eventually became bankrupt. As a investor he became part owner in an unfinished BASIC computer language. Advised by expects to walk away from the project, he cofounded MetaComCo Software and recruited programmers to complete the software. Based on a 'lucky' conversation with a programmer in Holland, who explained the value of the completed software, Peter made a speculative 9,800 mile round trip to a computer show in Houston, Texas. Two days later he flew back to the UK with a Letter of Intent from the US software company Digital Research who licensed the unfinished software for $400,000.
