Komodo will continue as a partnership between me and Mark Lefler, with Mary Dailey receiving an equal share of the proceeds. I'm in the hospital myself now, but I should be going home tomorrow with no further trouble expected.

Don gave a lasting gift of remembrance to the computer chess community.
I believe that we are born into death-that is to say, everything that is born in this reality-dies. But, I strongly believe that we die into an ever lasting life.
May Don's Spirit remain strong and carry him into ever lasting life.
