Re: Temporary notes in Emacs buffers?

[John Yates]

Tomás,

Paul Leach was responsible for the UUID's importance in Apollo's
architecture.  (Back
then it was called simply a UID.)  Paul was an early PhD student under
future von
Neumann medal and Turing award winner Barbara Liskov.  He was the most visionary
of the Apollo architects.  When Apollo got steamrolled by Sun Bill
Gates personally
recruited Paul to move to Microsoft.
