Guy Kewney
I had a quick search, but couldn't find anything mentioned about Guy Kewney. "Integrity in socks and sandals." He popped off on the 8th I believe.
In the days I'd read everything I could lay hands on about computers, I made sure I read everything he wrote. He had quite a lot to say about the way IBM were running 'Patch-wires' around their mother boards for instance, and wouldn't pull any punches because of a name.
The end of an era.
