The following quote is from Forbes Magazine 80th anniversary issue:
"On July 6, 1994 Kildall, 52, walked into a Monterey bar. He was wearing motorcycle
leathers with Harley-Davidson patches-a would-be biker. There were some real bikers in the
bar. Something was said. There was pushing and shoving, and Kildall died from injuries
sustained to his head. An inquest called the death 'suspicious,' but no one was
charged."

No, he died of a heart attack after a good number of years on the PBS
"Computer Chronicles" show.
I'm sure a
lot of people wish Bill Gates were in Gary's shoes (so to
speak).
No old Billy Gates has brought some good into this
world............
but 99.9999% of what he has done is just to steal and steal..........
Bill Gates and I are a month apart in age. My zits cleared up, he
became a billionaire. I guess we're even.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been publicly wrong on this
mailing list. (I don't read "Forbes", I get my data from computer
magazines, the Newark Star-Ledger and [when I'm faxing resumes] the
NYTimes -- though on occasion I've paused for a minute when flipping
channels if the news sounded interesting or amusing). I do recall
that the first time I heard about Gary's death was a few months after
the fact.
