Sad news about another Filepro innovator

[Michael Schwartz]

     I'm very sad to hear about Bill's passing. Was it on Saturday,
9/12/2026?

     I Googled for an obituary, but didn't find one yet...

     He was an interesting, helpful guy to hang around with at the SCO
conferences. We coordinated our flights into San Jose so that we could
share a rental car.  Bill always insisted on driving, but he didn't mention
that he was a champion race car driver until I questioned him taking the 45
MPH curves through the mountains at 80 MPH...  <grin>

     I don't know where we would all be without his filePro email list.
The list has certainly been a lifesaver for me!

     Who is going to be running Bill's servers now?  Or, will the filePro
list die the next time there is a power outage on Mercer Island?
