Just prior to New Year's eve, Bob Quinn was paralyzed in a skiing accident.

Most of you don't know Bob Quinn, but you do know his work. If you are playing multiplayer games on a Windows platform, or for that matter using almost any networked application under Windows, you are building upon his contributions to the Winsock standard.

But beyond the work he has done on the standards, beyond his work in seminars and as an author, he has also donated countless hours of his expertise to helping networked applications developers (students, professionals, games or not) privately and on mailing lists.

Multiplayer games on the Windows platform have built upon and depended upon the time he has spent; the games we make and play depend upon his efforts. Now, he needs our efforts.

A fund has been established to help cover the major costs which we know are coming as part of his rehabilitation.
