I just saw this headline. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen dead of cancer,
aged 65. Relevancy to TUHS as Microsoft has been both a competitor to and
supporter of both Unix and (much more recently) Linux.
Allen also funded the Living Computer Museum in Seattle, where one can log
into a real PDP-11/70 running 7th Edition Unix.

He was always the "good" side of Microsoft to me. He left the company over
disagreements with Bill in early 80s though.
Great loss.

A terrible loss IMHO, just considering StratoLaunch alone.

Allen also funded the Living Computer Museum in Seattle, where one can log
into a real PDP-11/70 running 7th Edition Unix.
And see a real live PDP-7, and many other marvellous artifacts.
Their basic idea is to be a museum of history that runs. Well
worth a visit when in Seattle.
