This guy mattered more than Jobs the Toymaker

The underpinning of our computer world rides on this fellow's and his
colleague's efforts, not Apple adult toys.

I've unwrapped the URL. Apart from that, I agree with you.

There is also Farmwald and Horowitz who with their co-workers are
responsible for inventions without which no modern computers would
exist.

No question, Ritchie's contributions have changed everything. But he
worked in a different world and at a different level than Jobs.
comparing the two is like comparing Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain to
Kilby and Noyce. Everyone builds on the accomplishments of those that
came before. That'll never change.

And he most definitely meant to rudely exclude his hated enemy, the
Astronomer Royal, who was a dwarf.
