*> Is it just me or do a lot of famous software people meet their end by cancer? If you live long enough cancer is one of the biggest concerns, and people who don't have particularly dangerous lives generally live long enough for this to be an issue. Heart disease is the other top dog on the list. In many places this is still the top killer over-all, but it tends to take people earlier (obviously talking averages here, either can strike at practically any age) and is more deadly among those with lesser access to good health care (the non-famous) so the better-off may experience both, survive the “heart problems” cut, and get hit by cancer later.
