RIP Michael S. Hart, co-founder of Project Gutenberg which was, for many of us, one of the projects that lured us to the Net. Back in the day I contributed to the project and it is amazing that Michael and others have kept it going strong for so long.

Incidentally, the oft-forgotten co-founder of the project, Greg Newby, is (or was?) a research faculty member at our (UAF’s) supercomputing center. He’s on the right in the Wikimedia commons photo above.
