RIP. A true computer science legend and Bell Labs alumni.

last email from IP was on Feb 1. Though I really haven't looked at it in years. it used to be much more discussion oriented.

RIP.

I was trying to get a hold of him for years. People who knew him kept saying they'd get me in touch, never did.

His name pops up a lot during the 60s and 70s as an author on numerous articles about networks, often regarding many competing, now defunct alternative networks to the Internet.

Examples of scans I personally made: https://siliconfolklore.com/internet-history/farber-datamati... and https://siliconfolklore.com/internet-history/farber-datamati...

He's one of those people where you go through archival industry journals and are like "oh look there he is again"

Met him without knowing who this person was when proposing a decentralized anti-virus platform, he cared and helped a lot. Besides teaching, Dave never stopped learning. Quite a good role model for everyone here.
