Ken Iverson, creator of APL dies.

[Joe R.]

  "Iverson passed away on Oct. 19 following a stroke while he was working on his computer. He was 83. "

   He must have been using a Windows PC! He should have stuck with APL.

   APL was my first computer language as well. I learned it form Iverson's book A Programming Language and finally got to try it out on an IBM 1130. I'll go for YEARs and not use APL and finally getting rid of all my APL books and stuff but I always find myself coming back to APL.
