After a recent attempt to get my hands on the ViolaWWW source code
(successful, thanks to tflanigan's Ancient Web Browsers archive), I came
across a post by the Computer History Museum from some months ago
announcing that Pei-Yuan Wei, ViolaWWW's creator and obligatory mention
in the early history of the Web, has died.

I'm subscribed to the list and didn't see it mentioned (nor anywhere
else at the time of the announcement), so I thought I'd post here
belatedly on the basis that it might be informative/beneficial for
others who missed the news as well.
