ITEM 1-3.  NOT APPLICABLE

ITEM 4.    CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

On February 28, 2001, Grant Thornton LLP was replaced as the independent
accountant engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of TeleVideo,
Inc. (the "Company") by Choi, Cho & Ahn Accounting Corporation.

Grant Thornton LLP's report on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants from Grant
Thornton LLP to Choi, Cho & Ahn Accounting Corporation was recommended by the
audit committee and approved by the board of directors of the Company.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through the date of their
replacement, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Grant Thornton LLP, would have caused it to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. A
management letter issued by Grant Thornton LLP, dated February 15, 2001,
disclosed a reportable condition related to deficiencies in the Company's
internal controls over the accounting for and financial reporting of the
Company's investments in affiliates.

The Company has requested Grant Thornton LLP to furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree
with the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the respects
in which they do not agree. Said letter is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.

ITEM 5-8.  NOT APPLICABLE

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
