Arnold Greenberg was a key executive at Coleco Industries, the company behind the ColecoVision gaming console and the ADAM computer. Under his leadership, Coleco became a major player in the video game industry during the early 1980s.

Bob Slopsema stands as one of the most influential figures in the Coleco ADAM computer community, serving as both the steward of the ADAM News Network (A.N.N.) and co-founder of MicroFox Technologies. Together with his family - wife Judy and son Doug - Bob has dedicated over three decades to preserving, enhancing, and extending the ADAM computer ecosystem through innovative hardware solutions, community leadership, and tireless organizational efforts.
### Family Computing Origins
Bob Slopsema's journey with the ADAM computer began in summer 1989 when he and his son Doug were introduced to the system by a neighbor whose children were playing ADAM games. The neighbor's older daughter needed to write a 9th grade term paper, which demonstrated the ADAM's potential as both a gaming and productivity platform.
The Slopsemas initially purchased what they believed was a parts system from American Design Components, lacking a case or printer/power supply. To their surprise, it turned out to be a complete R80 ADAM CPU and keyboard. With help from their knowledgeable neighbor, who subscribed to NIAD (Northern Illinois ADAM User's Group), they acquired an ADAM printer/power supply and began their deep dive into the ADAM ecosystem.
The family quickly learned the intricacies of ADAM computing, including making and duplicating data packs using a record player with dual tape decks. They encountered the system's memory limitations firsthand when Doug's sister's term paper caused SmartWriter to display "an aquarium with fish swimming all over" the screen around page 10 - leading to their first hardware upgrade: an Orphanware 64K memory card purchased through NIAD.
### CompuServe Era and Early Networking
The Slopsemas became active in the early online ADAM community, participating in weekly CompuServe chats despite the expensive long-distance charges of the era. This early adoption of electronic communication would prove instrumental in Bob's later role as a community coordinator.
### ADAMcon Journey Begins
Although the family missed ADAMcon 1 in October 1989 due to work and school obligations, they attended ADAMcon 2 in Toronto during summer 1990. This marked the beginning of an extraordinary commitment to the ADAM community - Bob and Judy would attend all but 2 of the next 28 ADAMcons, often serving as hosts or organizers.

### ADAMcon 09 Excellence
Bob and Judy Slopsema organized ADAMcon 09, which became legendary within the community for its exceptional planning and execution. Attendees consistently praised the hotel accommodations, outstanding food (including a memorable Sunday brunch), and the relaxed atmosphere Bob created - famously running the convention "in his socks." The event was so well-attended that it surprised even the organizers.

### Gallery of Honour Recognition
Bob Slopsema was inducted into the ADAM community's Gallery of Honour in recognition of his extensive contributions to both the ADAM News Network and ADAMcon organization, cementing his status as one of the community's most valued members.

## ADAM News Network (A.N.N.) Leadership
Bob took over A.N.N. operations from Ron Mitchell, assuming responsibility for the newsletter's projects, distribution, and ongoing publication duties. Under his stewardship, A.N.N. became the primary communication hub for the ADAM community worldwide.
Bob developed and managed A.N.N.'s sophisticated monthly disk-based newsletter system, coordinating with contributors like PJ Herrington for content creation and ensuring timely distribution to subscribers. His meticulous attention to detail and deadline management kept the publication running smoothly despite the challenges of managing a disk-based distribution network.
Bob established and maintains the A.N.N. website at ann.hollowdreams.com, which serves as the central hub for ADAM computer resources, including:
