Too soon?
Pats and cats
A true giant of the computer world has just passed away: Dennis Ritchie, the principal designer of the C programming language and co-developer of the Unix operating system.
As my friend Vince said, "With all the ink and pixels spent on St. Steven of Cupertino recently, it would be unconscionable to let the passing of another computer giant go unremarked. That one was a household name and the the other quite unknown is reflected in the simple observation that one was a mathematician and the other a salesman."
Rest in peace, Mr. Ritchie.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
