Thanks for heads up, Larry. On a whim, I bought myself a new Kindle, that little $79 one. I spent much of the day reading on it (we have a bit of a mid semester break now) and, of course, it's based on Linux. I wonder how long it will take our technology to lose its connection to Ritchie's work. I'll reboot my Kindle in his memory.
