Until I read the article I had no idea who he was.

Bit of an unsung hero really ...

"Allen’s life and work were remarkable for their depth and breadth, spanning from the formative years of the personal computer in the 1970s to the modern world of 21st century wireless technologies, artificial intelligence, cutting-edge brain science and the promise of space exploration. Allen remained enthralled with the potential of technology throughout his life."

R.I.P Paul Allen.

Sad that when we think of Microsoft we automatically think of Bill Gates and forget Paul G Allen his co-founder.

I have to admit that until I read the article I had no idea who he was either. Definitely an unsung hero.

RIP Paul G Allen

RIP Paul Allen

I knew who he was because of what I do but he was definitely less well known than Bill Gates and that's probably the way he liked it.
