[TUHS] RIP Robert Taylor

[Dave Horsfall]

We lost Robert Taylor, computer scientist and Internet pioneer, on this 
day in 2017.  Amongst other things, he helped invent the mouse, pioneered 
computer communications leading up to ARPAnet, developed the computer 
science lab at Xerox...

Many thanks!  I love this bit:

     At Xerox, the weekly group meetings were called Dealer, as in Dealer’s
     choice.  The speaker set the rules.  The culture was for the audience
     to do their level best to challenge the ideas.  Bob talked about
     civility, and about the necessity of “turning type one disagreements
     into type two disagreements”.  A type two disagreement is where each
     party understands and can explain the position of the other.

We can all learn something from that...

Indeed.  The part about fishing the recording out of the core dump was cool
too.

Thanks for that obit Larry, nicely done!
