Didn't he invent the SuSE Phone?  ;-)

Actually, if you check, you'll find his name was spelled Zuse and 
there's also this little bit of trivia at
http://www.suse.com/us/company/suse/suse/factsheet.html
"Establishment  	1992: Gesellschaft für Software- und System-Entwicklung 
mbH"

Notice the letters SuSE in that name?  SuSE is an acronym.


BTW, your clock is wrong too.  It appears you sent your message about 
three hours after I replied to it.  ;-)
