I lost this post somehow ...
I know it won't mean much to many readers of the forum, but Dennis Ritchie, the co-inventor of UNIX and C has died.
Read the obituary here http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/oct/13/dennis-ritchie it traces the development of computing since the 60's.
Modern-day uses of the internet, Apple and LINUX software mongst many other things owe a lot to Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson.
