I learned today of the passing of a true computing visionary, Marvin
Minsky He of artificial intelligence fame. We in the classic computing
fraternity, and computing in general, can enjoy our ?hobby? because of
his work.
Happy computing
Murray :)

I recall Minsky's text "Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines" was
very entertaining--unlike most college texts. The introduction of
McCullogh-Pitts cell analogies was my first exposure to the idea of
neural networks.
