Another brilliant techie who became a doctor instead is Dr Cameron Kaiser -- I think he might be @classichasclass here. He runs the last AMOS system on the internet, developed TenFourFox and Classzilla, the Overbite plugin that makes Firefox talk Gopher, and much more. He also compiled the amazing Secret Weapons of Commodore site.
