Art imitates reality.
It's true- an IRC friend had been on-line and died at the keyboard. He was a NYC fellow, met him at a picnic I hosted some years ago.
His girlfriend became concerned having not heard from him for a few days- he was always on the road, on the run (computer consultant for the banking industry).
They estimated 4 days before he was found- massive coronary- (44 years young) slumped over the computer- still connected to the Net.
I wonder how they'll find me?
Gee, I smell another thread- How do you want to be found? Throttle in hand? Clutching that brass hack? The "want to be found"- that's the hard part, but then will I care?
