That picture of Doug is old, here's a more recent one

and here's one taken before I was born !

Here's he is in 1968 explaining ActiveX to NATO (and I'm not joking, except it's not called ActiveX at the time!)

How about leaving a comment to the actual post pointing at that? :)

Sorry, I don't understand you. The big NATO photo is linked from the last URI. Or do you mean the first one, I just found it on google images, I was looking for pics from Holzman's Beyond Photography (http://spinroot.com/pico/) which features pics of Doug when he was at Bell Labs and they were inventing "photoshopping" but they are all in the PDFs and I didn't have the inclination to extract them.
