Folks, I never expected to be mentioning the passing of the beloved Macintosh creator, Bill Atkinson, at this early stage, but his family posted his passing today on FaceBook here. He was still a quite young 74-years-old.

It goes without saying that Bill was the heart and soul of the vintage Mac community insofar as the community and the Mac itself wouldn't have existed without Bill. Nevertheless, those of you not so familiar with Bill Atkinson may find the content at the URLs below of interest.




My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.

One of Bill's final public appearances was at the Computer History Museum's Mac at 40 event panel just last year. I'm so glad he was able to make that event before his passing. Most definitely worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it previously.
