Adrian, Uli, et al:
FWIW, I agree with Uli. But your posts reminded me of one of the most
interesting persons I've met. This was in my Data General days; so that's
pre 1986 and I don't remember the man's name. He had a business somewhere
south of Mountain View (SF Bay area) selling used DG iron, which he also
programmed. No big deal, right?...except he was totally blind. I never
understood how he could program a user interface; but did learn he was
sighted at birth and lost vision later in life.
Another person I thought I would never forget lost in the depths of my memory.
