Placed here instead of News forum due to the tech orientation of the subject matter.

This man shares responsibility for every single one of the computers used in this forum, from my cheap laptop (which uses a AMD chip, but still...) to the servers WP runs on. A true genius, one of a handful of visionaries who literally created our modern world. RIP. :cry: :cry:
