RIP R@y!
Ray Tomlinson died of a heart attack on Saturday. Without him, we probably wouldn't have an @ sign on our keyboards. Ray Tomlinson was the first person to use the @ sign to send an e-mail in 1971. The Wikipedia article is unfortunately very thin: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Tomlinson Heise writes a nicer obituary: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Ray-Heaven-zum-Tode-von-Ray-Tomlinson-3129308.html Rest in peace R@y!
