[cctalk] Re: Ward Christensen NY Times Obituary

Actually I posted the ArsTechnica article in one of the New York Times internal chat channels on Oct 16th, I was hoping someone would pick this up. I did the same when Chuck Peddle died. I work for the Times and there are a few people here who appreciate old technology. I don't have any pull, but some of the writers are serious techies. As for the article, this is the New York Times and not ArsTechnica. The readers are different and the writers have to find ways to relate. Depending on your perspective, BBSes were the social systems of the time. I can see the link between them. I thought it was well written and regardless of what you think of the Times, it is nice to see Ward Christensen remembered with a proper obituary.
