Thanks for the heads up. I can almost hear "the man's" voice ;-)
It was an excellent interview. Good to get some insight from Pat as to why
kernel 2.4 and why he does things in Slackware that he does. Kudos to the
Slackware team for a great distribution. Using Slackware 11 and loving it!

Looks like Judge Doom's kid.

Why else would you want a picture of him? Are you a madman that
wants to order a hit? Why do you want a picture of a computer
programmer? Aren't there enough pictures of Bill Gates around to
satisfy you?

"Swiftwater Bill" was interested in computers as computers from
a young age (well, as young as is mostly possible before home
computers came along), and before doing the BASIC for the Altair
8800, he'd done some software as a teenager.
Of course, the funny thing is that you can take a picture of
him from when he was a kid, around the time of the famous letter
to the computer hobbyists, and he doesn't look that much different
now. He still looks mostly the same, and still looks a lot like
a kid.

Not sure when that picture of Pat was taken but if it was after his
health problems then his weight isn't suprising.
Maybe he needs less beer http://www.fauxascii.com/beer_plant/
and more food http://www.fauxascii.com/food/
