Re: Report: Arthur C. Clarke, Dead at 90

Wow. One of the "Big Three" (Dr Clarke, Dr Asimov, and Heinlein).

Last night, after a long day spent with my youngest brother and his son, my
3-year-old Nephew Jaden I'd only first met this past Sunday (a super little
tyke), I rested my tired feet and tossed in two versions of my 2001: A Space
Oddysey DVD's (the old MGM one and the 2001 Warners one; I have yet to get
an HDTV or Blu Ray); on the older DVD I saw a speech and then Q & A session
with Dr Clarke....I thought about all the grandeur of speculating the
future, and how lucky we were to still have Dr Clarke around....then this.
Damn.
I have yet to read any of his Rama books....I think it's about damn time I
did.
