    I learned yesterday about the passing of John C. Dvorak this past Monday.

    Whoa! I knew about John through ZDTV/TechTV where he hossted Silicon Spin. I later listened to No Agenda. I always liked his take-no-prisoners approach.

    I learned yesterday about the passing of John C. Dvorak this past
    Monday. I first learned of John's work through his columns in PC
    Magazine in the late 80s and early 90s and met him briefly at the
    Digiatal Dynamics booth at ONE BBSCON '93 (he wanted to know when the
    OS/2 version of Synchronet that we were promoting was going to ship).

    I did not hear the news - I recall his and Jerry Pournelle's articles
    in PC Magazine fondly. Sad news, indeed.



    ... I hear he can kill people with an init string.
