Re: Farewell, Glenn Rander-Pehrson

It is very sad to hear this news !!

Cosmin mentioned how Glenn created the very first PNG images. However 
that link at RPI doesn't work anymore.

   http://www.rpi.edu/~randeg/paleo_pngs.html

Anybody who has a backup of those "paleo" images? In his honour we 
should bring them to live again on the libpng.org site.
