I have to respectfully disagree.
This is an obituary for a person who has died, which is not a complete history of his
life. The articles are rather lengthy, for an obituary in a major newspaper where space is
limited. I think the author did do some rather deep investigation. He did talk to Ward
Christiansen‘s brother for remembrances and information.
We can get along without agreeing :-)
If you will pardon some exaggeration to make clear my point,
it is somewhat like going into detail about Henry Ford being co-founder of
Kingsford charcoal, and then only two mentions, in passing, of making
cars. :-)
Yes, I admit that is an exaggerated analogy.
CBBS WAS extremely important and significant.
But, I think that XMODEM had even more long-term impact.
