    This was news to me. Kinda interesting to be getting news from a BBS, these days, though I guess I was a bit out of the loop due to traveling.

    But evidently his wife is pregnant. I'm kind of wondering if they decided to go for a kid after he got the diagnosis.

    But I don't mean to be awful or anything with that -- I'm sure it's a sad day for all the people who were close to him.

    And it's a sad day for most of the rest of us, too, since, whatever he actually did, he had a somewhat mythical reputation.

    Certainly, I expect an article or two in the next issue of 2600.

    Yea; I saw the news on one of my tech sites first, but did see it going around the bbS bases too. :/ Sucks.

    It would seem that way - I do know that it was a year-long battle; one of the worst diseases known to humans... F C.
