that’s how we viewed computation and these computation devices.”

Steve Jobs

( *not* one of the rec.boats illiterates)

Richie was a more powerful influence than Jobs. Jobs only gets the
attention as in a sort of a way he was an attention whore.

Smart in many ways, but not without his flaws. But not for Richie,
there would be no Jobs.

To me, Richie was far more influential on the computing devices space
than Jobs and Gates combined. Dennis Ritchie deserves more credit.
