    But when?

    You've replied to a post from 1998, so maybe he was alive then, almost two decades ago.

    You replied to an old post, you didn't even quote the message you are
    replying to, and didn't even seem to reply properly since it isn't
    properly threaded.

    I remember Fred. He sure liked to exaggerate a lot. He claimed back in the 80's that he owned a 100 gigabyte hard drive, during a time when the average hard drive was no more than ten megabytes. I think he died in the early 90's.
