Hi All, Just received this sad news from Eleanor who asked me to post it to our list. Paul. -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Sad news concerning Torsten Brand, lead developer for talks From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx> Date: 13/04/2010 5:30 pm Hi Everyone. This will be sad news to any user of the talks software and a tragic loss for the accessible phone users community generally. According to reports, Torsten Brand, lead developer for Talks died last night from complications during a Hernia operation. Information is scarce at the moment, but doubtless there will be a press release in the upcoming future and I will of course pass this on as soon as I hear anything. All the best, Ibrahim. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam. SPAMfighter has removed 3090 of my spam emails to date.
