RIP Dr. Kan Yabumoto

[Ali]

Hello All:

I am not sure if this is "vintage" enough. However, Dr Kan Yabumoto
(1948-2017) passed away after a long illness on 03-31-17. He was involved in
the computer industry for many years after being a chemical engineer. He
designed and programmed "Mad Planets", one of the "1001 Video Games You Must
Play Before You Die". However, in this group though he may be better known
for his work at his company Pixelab. Pixelab produced DatMan, XXCopy, and
XXClone. I had the good fortune to become friends with Kan while seeking
support for XXCopy. He was an intelligent and caring man and he will be
missed.
