When he founded DDJ ("dr. dobb's journal Of Tiny BASIC Calisthenics And Orthodontia : Running Light Without Overbyte"), they considered it to be a reference, not a newspaper, and kept reprints of the old issues available in bound form. But, after Jim was gone, the title became merely "Dr. Dobb's Journal" with subtitles that ranged from "Tools for professional programmers", "World Of Software Development", etc. I think that it ended with "management Information Systems"? Much as "Tinker-Toys" became "Morrow Designs", "Kentucky Fried Computers" became "NorthStar", and "Intergalactic Digital Research" became "Digital Research, Inc." Jim used to roll around WCCF (1977 - 1983) on roller skates, which put his head above the top of the crowd, and let him keep an eye on everything going on. His assistant in those days was Nels Anderson. I'm not sure that Jim needed the skates to be head and shoulders above most. After WCCF had deteriorated badly under the new owners, he was the guest of honor at S.O.G. ("Semi Official Gathering" put on in Bend Oregon, by Dave Thompson of MicroCornucopia magazine). We presented him with a pair of skates, and told him that it was time for him to put them back on, that the world of computers needed him. I don't know who provided them; I was the one who had suggested it to Dave Thompson. I was tied for #1 for booth selection, even though I never had a booth larger than 10x10 and hadn't exhibited at the first three Faires (SF, San Jose, Los Angeles), when the suits discontinued the booth selection priority list. I think that it was Jim's "Journal Of Intelligent Machines", that eventually decomposed into "Infoworld", or maybe "Silicon Gulch Gaqzette", that had the subtitle of "machines who think", instead of the canonical "machines that think". But, it might have been one of his other periodicals; can anybody pin that down? GOOGLE'ing people we knew tends to be very sad. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com

Wasn't it Jim that had the house overlooking the Pacific ocean that was off Skyline Blvd?
