Ah missed that. Yes, he's one of the Unix gurus and I used to have his Unix Network Programming book (maybe still do?). But he's more known for the TCP/IP or Network Programming one I guess.

Early on, I was more into operating systems so Edsger Dijkstra (THE); Andrew Tanenbaum (Minix, Amoeba); Rob Pike, Dennis Ritchie at al (Plan 9), Bill and Lynn Jolitz (386BSD), Jochen Liedtke (L3, L4), and others were some of my heroes. Would have been nice to have met one or more of them. What was Mr. Stevens like?
