From: D.M. Procida on 8 Apr 2010 07:34 He died today, from cancer of the bowel and liver. He was one of the few people who knew that microcomputers were going to make a difference to people's everyday lives. As far as the public were concerned he was an important midwife to the new technology, because he helped bring it out into the wider world. Daniele

Jim -- "Microsoft admitted its Vista operating system was a 'less good product' in what IT experts have described as the most ambitious understatement since the captain of the Titanic reported some slightly damp tablecloths." http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/

I had no idea - he's been my favourite printed-magazine tech writer since the mid 90s. Sad.

Sad. A quick look down his blog - http://hunkymouse.livejournal.com/ - is worthwhile. He just doesn't seem to have let it all get to him at ANY stage. Go back to Feb-March '09 for the initial diagnosis. |
