Robert Howard, inventor of the dot matrix printer and founder of Presstek has died

The man who with his Centronics dot matrix printers co-initiated the computer revolution and who founded companies such as Presstek and Howtek died at the end of 2014 in his home in Windham, USA, at the age of 91.
Howard will not only be remembered for his inventions and the companies he founded, but also for his generous donations to the University of New Hampshire and the Dublin School in Ireland where his stepson graduated in 1988. These donations allowed the schools to give more and better education also to underprivileged kids. According to Frank Romano who was close to him, Howard was an innovator at heart and was able to convert ideas into real products and changed our industry forever.
