younger people on here may not be so aware of who this chap was (unless you read proper IT news like El Reg 😉 )but if you became interested in computers in the late 70s/ or 1980s he was one of the most influential tech writers..
The technology world has been mourning the death of one of its most influential writers, Guy Kewney.
Guy died aged 63 on 8 April after battling bowel and liver cancer.
He had been writing about technology since the 1970s, including long stints with publications such as PC Magazine and Personal Computer World.
He had blogged and tweeted about his illness and, in his final days, his daughter Lucy – herself a technology writer – took over his Facebook page.
She informed his 588 Facebook friends of his death with the simple words: Guy is gone.
