re: the passing of Randy Suess (BBS) and Gary Starkweather (Laser Printer)

"silent keys" are amateur radio operators who have passed away.

The term "Fallen Flags" describes those railroads
whose corporate names have been dissolved through merger, bankruptcy,
or liquidation.

We need something similar to honor computer/electronics pioneers.
