Al Shugart

[Nelson D. Coleman]

For those of use remembering the huge floppy and hard drives of 
yesteryear, there is a good article by Tom Coughlin on the passing of Al 
Shugart at processor.com at 
http://www.processor.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles%2Fp2901%2F06ap01%2F06ap01.asp&guid=&searchtype=&WordList=&bJumpTo=True 
.

Other than the technical error about the 52 foot diameter hard drive.  [ 
http://www.cedmagic.com/history/ibm-305-ramac.html ] where I suppose an 
editor changed 50 24 inch to 52 foot.
