Dr. John Warnock, the co-founder of Adobe along with Dr. Chuck Geschke (who died in 2021) and computer graphics genius, died on Saturday. Not only did this guy start the undisputed king company of software for computer graphics and publishing, he was also responsible for PostScript (practically enabling printers to print more than characters), Adobe Illustrator (the industry standard for vector graphics to this day) and a little thing called Camelot that was developed into the Portable Document Format (do I need to explain PDFs???). That's not to mention the cavalcade of awards - United States National Medal of Technology and Innovation, IEEE's Computer Entrepreneur Award, Lovelace Medal from the British Computer Society. What an incredible legacy to leave behind.
