Dave Mills, of fuzzball and ntp fame, one time U Delaware died on the 17th
of January.
He was an interesting, entertaining, prolific and rather idosyncratic
emailer. Witty and informative.

There has been a lot of discussion on the Internet History list. Vint is
putting together a file of Mill's stories.
[While I met him a few times, I did not know him very well, so I'm not
going to be a source of any of them].
