Let me add my voice to those expressing sadness at the passing of Rob 
Kling. I was a member of Rob's "Computers and Society" course that he 
taught at the University of Wisconsin the first year after he arrived from 
Stanford (1971?). I remember fondly the intellectual range of that seminar 
(course materials ranged from readings from Jacques Ellul to a performance 
of Firesign Theater's "We're All Bozos on This Bus"), and the rather 
unconventional class meetings at his house. Requiesat in Pacem.
