Don Keele turns 85

[tomp]

For those of you that may have had contact with Don Keele, he is one of the giants in the audio field. He is turning 85 and his website has a list of his papers, awards, and a section if you want to say happy birthday. Here is a link:

One of the funny quotes on his site is from Howard Aiken from IBM. It pretty much sums up the resistance to change many people from lots of fields have to change. Here it is:

Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.
Howard Aiken, IBM engineer

I can relate to that quote. People that resist "that good idea" seem to suffer from NIH syndrome. (NOT INVENTED HERE)

My point of view is don't reinvent the wheel. As Tom Lehrer said "Plagiarize, Plagiarize, Plagiarize"
