    He documented an era and inspired many people

    You will never be able to talk about the early days of the internet or computing and not refer to his work

    That’s a shame but a good age to reach. I loved watching Computer Chronicles with him and Garry (who sadly passed away much younger), great nostalgia for bygone days.

    Very sorry to hear that, a legend has passed. Just watched LGR’s react to the Computer Chronicles 1987 Christmas Episode the other day… I may need to schedule a Computer Chronicles marathon soon in light of this news.

    RIP to a real one. I have the whole series archived on my server, it is a historical treasure worth preserving.

    Oh damn 😟

    I went on a massive Computer Chronicles binge a few years ago after discovering it. I feel like the show likely did a lot to normalize computing back in the day, and you could see they were really excited about new advances in technology back then. RIP

    I found computer chronicles on YouTube maybe 8 years ago and binged most of it. Great show. Wonderful snapshot of computer history.
