Thanks Macworld!
- Today Macworld Magazine officially ended, after a 30-year run.
- I just want to take a moment to show gratitude for the spirit of the early days of the Mac, much of which we invested in Macworld. I remember seeing the lines for software at ComputerWare in Palo Alto, thinking this could work. We could have a community of software-makers and users who loved each other. We could make tools for them, and they would tell their friends.
- The focal points for the then-young industry were the print publications: Macworld, MacUser and MacWEEK, all of which are gone now. Dave Bunnell, Dan Farber, Dave Ushijima, Steven Levy believed in what we were doing, I couldn't believe they did, and they reported on our accomplishments, and reviewed our products, not always favorably, of course.
- Some us are gone now, those of us who remain have gray hair, and fond memories. Macworld was good to us. Just wanted to say thanks! :-)
