RIP. I liked Michael. We met at a couple PLUG meetings, but mostly we 
corresponded via e-mail. I think he was the first person who worked 
for a huge corporation (US Bank) with whom I ever discussed IT issues. 
I was working for OGI at the time, and I remember being startled to 
find that someone might be a member of an entire group whose main 
responsibility (at that time) was DHCP and DNS. I mean, we just kept 
those records in version control and updated them as necessary; it was 
a tiny part of our job. It dawned on me that I knew very little about 
IT in the larger world.
