Many of the typos in the book "HACKERS: Heros of the Computer
Revolution" are of a phonetic nature.  I think Steven Levy recorded most
of his interviews and then later transcribed from the records.  Thus
TICO instead if TECO (Text Editor and Corrector).  However the overall
pictures painted in the book are correct.  (The Index is also a bit
lacking.  My name appears on page 83 (not listed in the Index) as well
as on page 118 which is listed in the index.)  There is hope of some
of these problems being fixed in the paperback edition.
