Add Your Name to the Tribute to Doug Engelbart

There is a site set up to honor one of the pioneers of computing, Doug Engelbart. John Maloney sent me the link. Doug is celebrated his 80th birthday at the end of January 2005. The tribute mentions that:

“For many of us, the demonstration of the oN Line System (NLS) in 1968 represented an epiphany of understanding of the power of non-numeric, interactive computing in pursuit of knowledge management. The richness of this vision continues to exceed our present grasp and represents an aspiration for all of us who seek to transform human ability to amass and comprehend an increasing amount of information.”

I second that Bill as in many ways the Iron Curtain would be likely still a reality without characters like Doug ...

A blog being a little first amendment seems to be the snowflake that causes avalanches in different walks of life:
