Qbe Root: Be Thankful -- 6:19 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

This Thursday, Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving Day, a time to give thanks for all the blessings we enjoy. Our own J.t.Qbe gives a list of some people in computing that he is thankful for, and whose work both shaped today's world of computers and also helped him land the job that he has now. Check out his newest Qbe Root column: Be Thankful.

The Master comments: On the compiler vein-when I began my foray into programming back in '89 I typed in my first assembler for the Apple II. When I got to college I blew the $200+ on Merlin 8/16 and used that. Even bought a 65802 to allow 16-bit programming on my //c. Then I plonked down for Borland Pascal 6, and 7, and C++ 4, and 4.5, then Delphi 1 and 2. I've spent well over a $1,000 on compilers and interpreters over time, and now all of it is nearly free in Linux Land. Sniff.
