#43Truly one of the unsung heroes of the Internet. Actually met him at a BoardWatch conference where he received a well deserved award.
Fondly remember Trumpet as the key that unlocked the door to using Mosaic. Jumping from text only to a browser was like going from black and white to technicolor.

#44Literally don't have any extra money right now (and I used a Mac back in the day), but I tweeted this to help get the word out, and want to at least my thanks to you, Peter, for your important early role in the internet (I heard about this, even if I didn't use it as a Mac user), even if I can't give money, let me say: well done.
Pat yourself on the back and know your efforts were useful for a great many people. Well done, good sir!

#45I feel like Dr. Sam Beckett, travelling back in time to put right what once went wrong.

#46There is a big difference between thinking of doing something good and actually making it happen. Kudos to the guys who arranged this. It's great to see everyone donating. Just goes to show how many lives Peter impacted with his work.

#48I would be happy to donate to Peter personally, except that Paypal is will likely freeze his account in the next few days specifically due to a high volume influx of varying dollar amounts from a variety of sources without a physical product or service provided. So my donation must go elsewhere than him personally, and that makes me very sad :(

#49I can confirm that the email is the one I passed on to Jacques. The PayPal account is a legit one I have used in the past and is registered under the business name Tattam Software. If I encounter any problems I will look into the other option. Thanks all... I had honestly thought the Internet had forgotten about me. Peter
Forgotten? Never! You're one of my tech heroes. Thank you so much.
