OK - so I am four years late - I was busy filing my taxes
I was searching for something when I tripped across this news item.
ABCNEWS.com : PKZip Creator Dies -- April 22, 2000
Katz was they guy that created the Zip format in a flurry of controversy, remembered by old farts like myself, but few others.
The full story is explained in more detail here , here and here.
So, why should I not advertise?

I survived the Ring
After a week immersed in Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs (about 20 hours in the Opera hall, including intermissions), I can now rejoin human society. Despite its ridiculous story involving the intrigues of gods and demigods, it was a wonderful experience. The music, plot and staging combine to stimulate the mind in many dimensions.
This picture is from the curtain call after Walkure.

The Ring at Lyric Opera of Chicago - all week
This week we are focused on The Ring at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Last night we saw Rheingold. Very impressive production (at least, I was impressed).
The most unusual event of the evening was that the line at the men's room before the show were way longer than the line at the ladies' room.

Lookingglass Alice
Tonight we saw "Lookingglass Alice" at the appropriately named Lookingglass Theatre in the Watertower (the real old one, not the modern ersatz one) on Michigan Ave. Breathtaking acrobatics - a fun time for all. Do not miss it if you are in Chicago -- and take a kid with you if you can. On until April 14, 2005, I believe.
