Most prominent people of internet history
A long time ago, I have encountered (on HN, I think) a marvelous gallery of portraits of important figures of the building of internet, unix (Rob Pike, Tim, ...) I have already spend a lot of time googling. I have a presentation to give on saturday. Any help would be welcome.
