Re: [PLUG] Dennis Ritchie has reportedly died

["Eric H. Johnson" <ejohnson@camalytics.com>]

I just noticed from the Wiki entry that he actually died 5 days ago (Oct.
8), or just three days after that other guy.

Regards,
Eric




This won't get the headlines like the passing of Steve Jobs, but an equally
influential figure in the history of computers has reportedly just died.
Dennis Ritchie, developer of the C language and instrumental in the
development of UNIX.
