"Here is a quick history of how VTV got its name.

Vacuum Tube Valley was formed by Charlie Kittleson, Eric Barbour and myself. I was living in San Jose at the time, Charlie was living in Belmont (on the S.F. penninsula), and Eric had just moved to Sunnyvale. Eric didn't have a car, so we rented office space which was within walking distance of his day job. This was on Duane Ave., near Lawrence Expressway and 101 in Sunnyvale. It turns out that the window in our office faced the (rather impressive) front of AMD's corporate headquarters. Since this was in the heart of Silicon Valley, we decided, as kind of a joke, to name the magazine Vacuum Tube Valley. This was in early 1995, and the web was young enough for us to get the URL Under Construction. I taught Charlie how to use Quark Express on the Mac, and he did the layout using it.

The main reason why the production values of Vacuum Tube Valley came out so well was that Steve Parr, a tube audio and radio collector, who also worked at a printing company in the East Bay, took the pictures and "baby-sat" each issue as it went through the printing process. He is a perfectionist, and it really showed.

In 1999 I moved to Nevada, and around the same time Charlie, then later, Eric moved to Lakeport, California. We still published VTV, but it became harder to get "synergy". I resigned my position as Technical Editor after a disagreement with Charlie on editorial independence, and Lynn Olson took over that job. I had no hard feelings towards Charlie, and was really saddened when I heard of his death. I don't know what eventually happened with his estate and who now owns the rights to VTV."
