Please add my name to that list.
Though I have to say.... I think Boyd would be, while undoubtedly
somewhat flattered by the attention, also somewhat taken aback by all
this sadness. I could imagine him saying something along the lines of,
``Bollocks; drink some red and go shoot something instead of sitting
around crying about it.''
Dave, you knew him better than I did; what do you think his reaction
would be?

I agree: the sadness is for us: the large quantities of (il)legal
psychoactives we will consume will be for Boyd:-).

... " and get that plan9 USB floppy boot working".

You're right, Dan.
I suspect he would have described the whole concept as "fucked to
buggery"
and called bullshit on it, but would nonetheless have been flattered.

Please add me to the list, I have nothing to add to what has already
been said, better than I could say it, except that I will also miss
Boyd greatly.

That's a very kind thought, and I would like to take you up on it.

I quite often defended his posts to this list. I always read them.
Sometimes I understood them, but I could always count on them
being short and to the point.
I'll miss them.
