Hi all,

Had to get this from the BBC ... local news is not hot on this stuff.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15287391

"Pioneering computer scientist Dennis Ritchie has died after a long illness.

Mr Ritchie was one of the creators of the hugely influential Unix operating 
system and the equally pioneering C programming language.

A vast number of modern technologies depend on the work he and fellow 
programmers did on Unix and C in the early days of the computer revolution.

Those paying respects said he was a "titan" of the industry whose influence was 
largely unknown."

In terms of ubiqity ths guy excels Mr Jobs & Mr Gates combined.

Have a great day.

Gary
