Adam Allard
Not sure which "google" you searched, but I found quite a lot on google.com. I know the alt.fan.adamallard news group has been around for at least 10 years because it was one of the first to be found way back in the archie and veronica days. I don't know much about the "musician" part but I did find something on purevolume.com/adamallard.

I know about him from a technology perspective since that I my field. He was one of the first people to use Java in a large-scale public site... he created the original Pepsi.com in all-Java in 1995. I also know the Plenium company because of the Wired article that Chris Oakes wrote in 1997 about their company and the netdesk thingy.

Just clicking around on other people in wikipedia, its easy for me to find many other people in the main collection that appear to have done much less.

Strong whiff of vanity about this. Googling doesn't unearth much evidence of his notability as a musician or "technologist", and I'm not at all clear what our notability standards for the "visionaries" is. Alai 05:53, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
