Ed was the reason I almost got put on the No-Fly list, I laugh at Wasabi, and hammers are an appropriate computer fix. I also don't know if I'm allowed at the Portland, OR airport some 20-years later, thanks to Ed. I am sorry to hear about his passing.

Ed Leach and I were neighbors and playmates as children. Despite not seeing each other for decades, we reconnected several years ago on line. I was shocked to learn he'd died. My condolences to his family and friends.
