Wow, I didn't know Mike had died in July, reading the obituary now. Unbelievable. Spoke to him not long ago at MUUG/MWCS, he seemed to be a fun, nerdy person like most of us, but according to his page he was suffering from long-term health issues? After a few discussions I did seem to detect he was low on enthusiam/direction in his life but didn't know he had health concerns which I imagine contributed if not lead to his death. So unfortunate.
His extensive personal page lives on for now (assumedly under his parents' Shaw account): http://members.shaw.ca/pfaiffer/mike.html

I have a customer who wants a laptop with Linux. My impression is he wants to learn Linux. I have refurbished laptops: IBM ThinkPad A21m, with Pentium III processor @ 750 MHz, 512MB RAM, and I can upgrade the hard drive to 40GB. Which distro of Linux would you recommend?
I would ask Mike Pfaiffer, but he passed away earlier this year.
Thanks, Rob Dyck
