A computer wizard from an early age, Goldman created "Multifinder", a program for the Macintosh that allowed the machine to run more than one program at a time, which helped make the personal computer a true multitasking device. In 1995, Goldman helped bring the Internet to a wider audience -- those who didn't have or want computers -- by co-founding WebTV, which was sold to Microsoft for half a billion dollars. In 2002 he founded Mailblocks to help keep e-mail inboxes spam free. Quite an impressive list of accomplishments, considering he was only 39 when he died December 26 from unknown causes.
