Back when I was posting "On this day" events, I had this for Ray
Tomlinson for 23rd April:
Ray Tomlinson, computer pioneer, was born on this day in 1941. He is
credited with inventing this weird thing called "email" on the
ARPAnet, in particular the "@" sign to designate a remote host
(although some jerk -- his name is not important -- is claiming that
he was first).
