*nod* And then there's the PERQ tapes and schematics that we rescued
from Bob Davis' house over a decade after he died in a tragic accident.
That may be the last and only copy of PERQ OS and application files, he
was the guardian of those systems. The writer and maintainer of the FAQ.
And everything he had was almost lost forever. Like tears in rain.....

description of who he was and what he did).....
