Linux, security, and networking as well as being a very active members of<br>
the Atlanta Unix group.  He was brilliant at computer security, a heck of<br>
a C programmer, and shared his knowledge very generously.  His kind review<br>
of my book manuscript and many suggestions made it a much better book.<br>
<br>
He had a very loving wife and family that I was privileged to know and<br>
such a man is rich beyond measure.<br>
<br>
Jim, please announce memorial arrangements.  Perhaps ALE should have a<br>
special "Raise a glass" to Mike.  (Please give a week's notice so I can<br>
schedule a trip up for it.)<br>
