New subject: Ward Christensen (BBS, XMODEM) has died
If you get the chance, go to youtube to watch the Jason Scott documentary
on the BBS. There is a lot of good history including Ward Christensen
interviews. He is the co-inventor of the BBS not the sole inventor IIRC.

Ward Christensen and Randy Seuss are the co-inventors of the BBS.
Ward is the sole inventor of the X-Modem download protocol.
