Very much so the passing of an Unsung Hero. But those who know his work know the Monster he created...

Re: Forget Jobs, Remember Ritchie
I still own a copy of K&R and regard it as the bible.
I am also very much the *nix freak, and am in awe of the clean simplicity. (That from a guy who was a VMS internals nut)
