[ih] John McCarthy

[galmes at tamu.edu (Guy Almes)]

   We note with sadness the death of John McCarthy.  He is not strongly 
associated with the Internet, but his vigorous leadership, especially at 
SAIL, contributed to a thriving ARPAnet community, and his ideas about 
how an infrastructure of consumer-oriented time-sharing systems 
contributed to some of the application ideas we see now in the 
consumer-oriented Internet.

   Any comments?
