Computer pioneer Bob Bemer dies - News - ZDNet

Computer pioneer Bob Bemer dies - News - ZDNet: "Bob Bemer, a computer pioneer who helped develop the ASCII coding system and the technology that led to the 'escape' key, has died at the age of 84 after battling cancer, his caregiver said Thursday. "

It is hard to think that ASCII and the escape command were invented - they have always been there (then again teen-agers think the same of the internet)
