Terry Davis, the schizophrenic individual who was tasked by God to create the TempleOS operating system (and spent over 12 years single handedly doing so) was killed by a train in Oregon (link: https://www.resetera.com/threads/templeos-creator-terry-davis-dies-during-his-great-western-adventure.65752/ )

Details remain sketchy and the death has been largely unnoticed other than by his followers and family. Some speculation is that it was suicide.

An older motherboard article about Terry and TempleOS : https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/wnj43x/gods-lonely-programmer

"A constructive look at TempleOS" goes into some of what makes the OS interesting : http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/

Have any Soylentils ever installed and played with TempleOS?

    - there.

    When I told Med that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was handing out free mosquito nets in Africa, I was at the time under the impression they were doing so all over Africa.

    No.

    It's just a few countries.

    Surely there is some procedure to help out Med and his countrymen?

    Get the Sierra Leone government to sign a nice juicy contract with Microsoft, and I'm sure the "donations" will come thick and fast after.
