As I recall he wrote vi.

.....
That was back before he founded Sun and made his millions.  He is
still a daily fixture in the life of UNIX.

.... Bill Joy story

A few years ago Bill Joy was giving a presentation.  Before the Q&A he
turned off his laptop.  During the Q&A someone stole his laptop. Bill
Joy claimed there was Millions of $$s in IP on the laptop..... Now he
travels with a bodygaurd for his laptop.

Moral of the story: Without physical security you have no security.

Old story, I know:  With self-encrypting hard drives it may not be
necessary for all of us to hire body gaurds for our laptops.   Or if
we all implement Michael Warfield's laptop encryption
solution...............
