@Grady_Booch@KO6YQ I worked for Amdahl Corp. as a test engineer right after I got out of college. I was there for #100. -
@kb6nu I worked there too, also 1st job out of college, on the UTS Unix mainframes. -
@KO6YQ Thinking back on it, it was amazing tech for the time (late 70s). I should have stayed there. -
@kb6nu By the time I was there in the early 90’s I met a lot of great talented people. But the company was horribly mismanaged.

@Grady_Booch@IBMResearch I didn't know he did the 704 right out if grad school. Puts my postdoc time to shame -
@Grady_Booch That's pretty much the only one thing you don't want to happen fast. So sorry to hear that. -
@Grady_Booch@SteveBellovin I met him once, "gentleman" was absolutely the proper adjective. So sad to watch our pioneers passing. -
@Grady_Booch very very sad. A legend passes into history
