The Associated Press ran a 500-word obituary by its Washington-based
technology writer, Ted Bridis, on Oct. 17. That story appeared in scores
of U.S. newspapers and more around the world.

AP does not routinely allow posting of its full stories on e-mail
distribution lists, but we'll make an exception for this one because of
the deep interest in Jon Postel's life and untimely death. Here it is:
