DES MOINES, Iowa - His neighbors know him as Sam Nodle, but fans of the Commodore 64 computer, circa 1980's, knew him as their "Little Computer Person".  Nodle passed away at his home in Des Moines, after a long battle with the rare condition anulargro, refered to as "Green Face".  Nodle was 65.

Nodle is survived only by his pet dog, Barkley.  Services will be held on December 31, 4pm at the First Baptist Church in Des Moines.

Ah, but at least for a while, he got to experience being a fast typist.

DEAR XLAR54,
NOW I CAN TYPE LETTERS TO YOU AT 160 WORDS PER MINUTE,
BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M DYING WITH EACH PASSING SECOND. DON'T
YOU HEAR MY KNOCKING? HAVEN'T YOU SEEN ME CHECKING
CRAIGSLIST FOR TELECOMMUTE JOBS? WITHOUT SOME FOOD OR
MONEY TO ORDER DELIVERY, I'M SURE I'LL PERISH SOON. I
ALREADY ATE MY RECORD COLLECTION AND THE NEWSPAPER
YOU GAVE ME. NOW BARKLEY IS STARTING TO LOOK PRETTY
GOOD, TOO... BUT I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO DO IT.

PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU WON'T GIVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT, JUST
ONE MORE GAME OF ANAGRAMS, WON'T YOU? SOMETHING TO
COMFORT ME BEFORE I GO.

DO YOU THINK LITTLE COMPUTER PEOPLE GO TO HEAVEN?

YOUR FRIEND (BUT ARE YOU STILL MINE???),
SAM
