    He was a genius, a gentleman and a brilliant friend. I met my great uncle, properly, just once when I was 8, a year before his death, but we had a brilliant conversation in Unwinese. I miss him.

      He certainly was a genius. Lifelong fan here. I once created a calculator for annual leave at work and wrote the instructions in Unwinese. In 40 years of work, it was my greatest achievement.
