If you had told me an article ostensibly about a file format would have me teary-eyed by the end I wouldn't have believed you. This is beautiful, thank you!

Thanks oisin, it's a beautiful story and his ex-wife gave me permission to share.
A huge number of us labor behind the scenes with no public acknowledgment or credit. For each idea brought to life we might hope for -at most- an epitaph carved in expired patent claims.
This story is touching.
It is, indeed. Thanks for writing that up, it touched me.
And thanks for being the historian of our culture-that-eschews culture (or so it seems to me sometimes, that tech tries to exist in a perennial present without acknowledging it's roots and history)
thanks isoprophlex for the acknowledgment. so many of the folks that i have interviewed, contributed so much to making tech or a product better for all. especially at or around apple. they receieved none of the credit that the 'names' got. ;-) you know who i mean.
Thank you both!
