Spring Cleaning
So I have been busy doing spring cleaning and doctors' appointments.
I was recently diagnosed with asthma and have been dealing with that
as well as my usual BBS stuff. Sadly I don't have a lot of content
for this issue but I hope you like what I've put together.
I always welcome your content for the 'Gazette!

RIP: Creators of the GIF and TRS-80
From:
https://tinyurl.com/57y5cjnh (theregister.com)
Thank you, Stephen E. Wilhite for your seminal image format, and John
Roach for your pioneering microcomputer
Simon Sharwood, APAC Editor
Thu 24 Mar 2022 // 08:00 UTC
Two important figures in computing industry have died.
Stephen E. Wilhite will be remembered as the creator of the Graphics
Interchange Format -- the ubiquitous GIF -- and always insisted it
be pronounced as "jif" with a soft "g".
Those who pointed out that his preferred pronunciation was
inconsistent or illogical were met with a stern: "They are wrong".
Wilhite created the GIF when working at CompuServe -- a pioneering
online service founded in 1969 and which, by the mid-1980s, had
evolved to the point some users expected to see graphics when they
dialled in to check their mails or chat in forums.
Wilhite and his colleagues devised the GIF in 1987 to make image
display possible on CompuServe. The format became a de facto standard
and then enjoyed an enormous revival in the early 2000s thanks to its
ability to display animations -- a feature greatly appreciated before
the widespread advent of streaming video -- and later by users of
social media.
A family obituary for Wilhite states that he received a Webby Lifetime
Achievement Award for the GIF and used his acceptance speech to again
restate his preferred pronunciation for the file format he created.
Wilhite and finished his career as chief architect from America Online
(which acquired CompuServe in 1997). He died aged 74 and is survived
by his wife Kathaleen, his son David, several stepchildren, 11
grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Many GIFs almost certainly found their way onto the TRS-80 -- an
early personal microcomputer sold by Tandy through its network of
Radio Shack stores.
The computer was the brainchild of John Roach, who in the mid-1970s
saw the growing market for personal computers sold as kits and decided
a market existed for a pre-built machine.
That machine was the TRS-80, and its $599.95 price tag (about $1050 in
today's money) saw it sell strongly when it reached stores in 1977.
And as Tandy ran over 8,000 stores at the time, the TRS-80 brought
computers into the suburbs like no other previous machine.
FGAZ 18-08 Page 3 28 Mar 2022
The TRS-80 is also of enormous importance because Tandy hired a pair
of chaps named Bill Gates and Paul Allen to write software for the
machine. In case you haven't been paying attention, they later founded
a little company you may have heard of called "Microsoft".
Roach had a long career at Tandy, becoming CEO in 1983 and holding
that position until 1999. He passed at age 83 and is survived by his
wife, their two daughters, six grandchildren, and a
great-granddaughter.
On behalf of our readers, The Register extends its condolences to Mr
Roach's and Mr Wilhite's families. Both men made enormous
contributions to our industry, and we feel sure that many readers'
first experiences of computers or online communities involved the
TRS-80 or CompuServe.
If you'd like to share your CompuServe, TRS-80, or GIF stories, drop
me a line and we may give these pioneers a reader-contributed farewell
to match the one you helped us write for Sir Clive Sinclair.

NET HUMOR
=================================================================
Equal Opportunity Employer
A dog sees a "Now hiring" poster outside of a computer store.
The poster reads: "Must be able to type. Must be able to program and
must be bilingual. We are an equal opportunity employer."
The dog takes the poster in his mouth and walks in.
The manager spots the dog, and decides to humor it, pulling up a chair
and a computer with a word processor. "Alright, if you want to work
here, you need to first write a letter." and leaves the room.
30 minutes later, he comes back in, and the dog has typed out a
completely error-free letter.
"Well, I'll be. This is a smart dog. But can he program?" he asks
himself.
20 minutes pass and the dog has made a perfectly running website for
the store.
Shocked, he looks at the dog, and finally speaks. "Look, I know you
have the qualifications, but well--you're a dog."
The dog nudges the words "We are an equal opportunity employer." on
the poster and the manager sighs.
"There's no way you're bilingual."
The dog looks him in the eyes and says "Meow."

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
=================================================================
I tried to say, "I'm a functional adult," but my phone changed it to
"fictional adult," and I feel like that's more accurate.
