Dear  POSSI et Al.:

A _FEW_ of you may remember, and most of the rest will be  saddened to 
learn, that 
Dr. Henry Edward Roberts, personal computing  pioneer, loses battle with  
pneumonia

Certainly  those of us read Byte - even only in its latter years - will

THIS was  THE person who invented it. (No Steve J. and Steve W. did NOT 
invent it. They  came later.)
