The Passing of Peter H. Anderson

[3v0]

I am a little late with this but I only came across the today,

Peter died Sept 19 2012 of 'complications after brain surgery'. Peter was only 66. Peter did a lot to promote micro controller development.

My grad school adviser was about the same age when he died from inoperable brain cancer. There used to be talk that computer monitors caused brain cancer but researchers could not establish a link.
Still it has me wondering if maybe the people who used early CRTs are at risk. Regardless I am glad to be sitting in front of LCD monitors.

I have often thought about that. As techs that sit behind the thin glass at the back of the Tube......we were probably sterile after just a few years...I don't know......I think I know that I have no kids that I am aware of

That, however, might explain why I am getting crazier and crazier....

Jeepers, my Mind is not what is was a while back.

There's a loss. I re-used some of his code earlier today.
