The Cheshire Catalyst (Richard Cheshire) The Cheshire Catalyst (Richard Cheshire) was the last editor/publisher of the TAP Newsletter of the 1970's/1980's, while hacking the World Telex Network. He has pretty much rested on his laurels since then, only coming out every couple of years to speak at HOPE conferences and to carry on the fight to make web sites accessible to non-graphic Internet users. His web site is at CheshireCatalyst.com.
