What ever happened to...

  1.  Dave Wecker (of VT100 fame.)  The last that I heard (long ago) was that
      DEC was very irate about VT100, and that they had threatened him (he
      worked for DEC) into abandoning the program and leaving the net (at
      least publicly.)  What is he doing these days?  If I have mangled the
      story, please correct me.

  2.  John Draper (aka Cap'n Crunch of Gadget Editor fame.)  The last that I
      heard of him was that his computer equipment had been confiscated due
      to alledged counterfeiting of BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit?) tokens?
      As far as I know, the Gadget Editor was never really completed and
      debugged.  (Programming by committee is always difficult.)  What really
      happened?  What is he doing now?
