Damn. I've loved Bob and his writings ever since I read Accidental Empires as a kid. He went through some crazy shit over the last few years (lost his house, almost blind). And when he started blogging again this year (<a href="https://www.cringely.com/2026/05/27/where-the-heck-have-i-been-all-this-time/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cringely.com/2026/05/27/where-the-heck-have-i-be...), the stories got even worse (lost his son, heart attack, stroke). RIP.
I didn't know about Dvorak's passing. I have read so many things he wrote, same for Robert X Cringely. Back in the heyday of the pc and the early internet, I loved reading their latest stuff. Cringely in PC Week or something similar. Those were happy days, I was just a programmer at one of the big companies of the day.
I loved his kind of cringe worthy references to his paramour, Pam or Pammy I think. That was a simpler time, a more optimistic time.
