My Brother just sent me this E-mail from London.

Hey, I'm having dinner with Maurice Wilkes tonight, he invented
the first stored program computer (in 1949), subroutines, caches,
and virtual memory. Definitely one of the most famous living computer
legends. He is 86!

Sounds like an interesting guy to talk to!
