RIP Jerry.

Many, many moons ago I was putting together an Ethernet network. I couldn't get it to cooperate. The latest issue of BYTE had just been delivered, so I decided to take a break and read Chaos Manor ... Jerry was griping about a couple cheap made in Taiwan Ethernet cards that someone had shipped him having the same exact MAC address ... I checked mine, and you guessed it.

I liked his scifi, too.

Not many manage to make a mark on society. You did. RIP
