Not surely this is widely known, but Max Mathews, besides being the father of Computer Music, was directly responsible
for the development of UNIX by agreeing
to buy a PDP11 for Thompson's team,
which had been turned down by their
direct manager. Without this machine,
maybe there would not have been a UNIX.

Interesting stuff.

Max Mathews was so supportive of so many. I am blessed to have been one of a long list of people who were able to realize their potential because of him. And do note... how we have all followed his "giving and sharing" example. A true mentor, who taught us all how to give - by example. Miss him so much. Blessed to have known him.
