Live on Riot.im. When we feel like it.              He and I worked together on TV Ontario's 'Bits and Bytes' and 'The Academy'       series and we'd also meet at some of the old World of Commodore shows. On Bits       and Bytes he was more of a behind-the-scenes consultant but on The Academy he       was a co-host along        with Jack Livesley; definitely worth watching:       https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHBSleF-26L97nI805_Zccfoku09XfQnn              He knew 6502 systems inside out and had an exceptional knack for explaining       computers in a way that everyone could understand, not to mention the many       utilities and other programs that he contributed to the community; a great       loss indeed.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
