Thank you for posting the link. FM is certainly one of the unsung heroes 
in computing history. Even now, publishing systems are not considered 
important, until they break.

If it were not that FM had diverged from the familiar and functional 
publishing system to a graphic designer tool, I would probably still be 
using it.
