Hi all

I thought many of you would find nostalgia and be interested to know that dear Bill Atkinson, inventor of so many things but notably HyperCard, QuickDraw, the Menu Bar (!!), Double Click (!!!), the selection lasso (!!!!). An incredibly inventive and talented mind sadly lost. 

Of course our thoughts are with the family but also to the many, many people his life and work will have undoubtedly and unknowingly touched.

Blessing to you all.
