[quote="lkaufman" Despite the lack of formal education, by the mid 1990s he was the head of the computing department at M.I.T. (!!!!). Larry Kaufman[/quote]
According to IM Kenneth Regan, whom I'm sure is correct, this should be amended to read
"...by the mid 1990s he was the head of systems administration for the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science."

Re: Don Dailey, 1956 -2013
That's true. I met him in DOCCC 2010 and at some point I asked him if "he was still teaching at MIT" (Obviously I just presumed he was a professor at MIT). He said something like: "Why does everyone ask that? I worked at the *systems ADMINISTRATION department....". He seemed a bit upset but still smiling...lkaufman wrote:According to IM Kenneth Regan, whom I'm sure is correct, this should be amended to readlkaufman wrote: Despite the lack of formal education, by the mid 1990s he was the head of the computing department at M.I.T.
