Roberts Dead Message-ID: <205677.26242.qm@web82306.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Dear POSSI et Al.: A _FEW_ of you may remember, and most of the rest will be saddened to learn, that Dr. Henry Edward Roberts, personal computing pioneer, loses battle with pneumonia . http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/02/dr-henry-edward-roberts-personal-computing-pioneer-loses-batt/ Certainly those of us read Byte - even only in its latter years - will remember references made back to 'the early years' of 'the personal computer'. THIS was THE person who invented it. (No Steve J. and Steve W. did NOT invent it. They came later.)
