RIP Mr. Suess, and I hope you're not cringing too much at "Mr. Suess and Mr. Christiansen built their electronic bulletin board using a personal computer called the S-100."


That sentence conveyed an important fact, but is missing a word or two for technical accuracy. Hopefully, after a long full life, he had much more important things to cringe about! Glad the Times published his obit even with this bit.


Here's a PDF of the 1978 Byte with all the details.
