I don't think Don ever had a lot of
crossover with the more academic
world of Unix people, but he's one of my heroes and I have learned a hell
of a lot from his works.
Not true at all. If you grew up as EE, in the late 1960s/early 1970s it
was hard to not know about him since he was so prolific. FWIW, before I
went to CMU, he was already a hero and I had a number of books from the
late 1960's. When I was freshman in the early 1970s, his TTL Cookbook was
an optional text for the intro to EE course [I already had it but a number
of my mates had never seen it before]. His CMOS Cookbox was not published
yet, but when it was, I bought it.
