Monnie Anderson, a very early National Instruments employee who retired not long after NI went public in 1995, passed away this morning.
He was one of early LabVIEW's most important internal users, the inventor of the Error IO cluster convention, provider of extraordinary customer support, and all around LabVIEW enthusiast and evangelist.
He is memorialized in LabVIEW with three densely packed connector panes, named: the 16-terminal "monnie pleaser"; the 20-terminal "monnie super pleaser"; and the 28-terminal "monnie would be pleased-er".
