Inventor of the Escape Key Passes Away

I blamed Bob Bemer for adding the backslash character to the ASCII character-set, and now he’s passed away.

Turns out, he also invented the Escape key. Thank you, Bob, I shall remember you often when I use the Esc key to, well, escape from difficult situations.

Check out his Home Page for interesting info about various things computer related.
