Oh no! He was a true visionary and remains a personal hero of mine. I admired his work so much, I created a Hebrew equivalent to Project Gutenberg back in 1999.
I never got to meet him, and had been hoping to get a chance to, now that I live in the US. Alas. I had just been telling one of the WMF storytellers, in an interview, about a formative experience in my life, when a friend came over, back in 1992/1993, with a CD-ROM containing more than 500 classic works including translations (Shakespeare, Plato, Confucius, Voltaire, you name it), and got me forever hooked on the idea of free and open digital content. I'll never forget Michael Hart. Asaf On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 4:52 PM, emijrp <emi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Michael S.
