2012 is not a good year... I lurk in alt.sys.pdp10 and alt.folklore.computers so I "met" Mark that way. Sharp mind and tongue, not an easy guy to argue with if you're not comfortable with your data :-) I do hope he is well cared for.

Some of you probably also knows that he is terminally ill. I just wanted to let the rest of you know that a great hacker in the Tops-20 world is not going to be around much longer. https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/imap5/current/msg00571.html (That is about all I know, if anyone have anything else, feel free to share.) I've never met MRC in person, but have had many talks over mail with him over the years, and I'm extremely sad by this news myself. :-( Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.
