I am very sad to report death May 17 at age 89 of Gordon Bell, famous computer pioneer, a founder of Computer Museum in Boston, and a force behind the @ComputerHistory her in Silicon Valley, and good friend since the 1980s.
He succumbed to aspiration pneumonia in Coronado, CA.
I'm told there will be a "Celebration of Life" service in August in Silicon Valley.
(Another fallen giant, we attended a similar service in April for another, Nobelist Arno Penzias.)
