Not sure what the reflevance is to OpenSuSE but for what it's worth...

I also found this link: http://216.122.129.112/dc/dcboard.php?az=printer_friendly&forum=13&topic_id=66 Looking at it revealed: We have the internet because of Michael Michael (Michael James Riconosciuto). Tymesharing, the early form of communicating between computers over voice capable lines, was named after his company, Tymeshare. He was 18, it was 1965 when his company together with Dartmouth College got two computers communicating from coast to coast. So even if its a bit OT, its still relevant for all of us, as we couldnt flame eachother here without his initial work...
