He wrote a good deal of programs for the ITS systems. He went on co-op assignment with HP in 1977 or 1978 or so, but still logged into MC relatively often. One day, people noticed his plan file said something like "Hacking suicide for the thrill of it all", followed by the lyrics to Pink Floyd's Brain Damage cut from the Dark Side of The Moon album. This was the last anyone heard from him - he was found dead from strychnine soon after. They say that a pun is the lowest form of humor. I think, with billw's entry, we've found something lower. Mark
