It was with great sadness that I learned of Cary's departure this week. Over the years, his insightful articles and serious reporting helped me acquire invaluable knowledge with regards to the Mac and living with Apple's sometimes sublime, often maligned products.
I had so gotten used to reading his monthly appearances in MacWorld and MacWeek that I find it hard to imagine those publications without his pen's mark. Yet another shining light in the Mac firmament leaves us, too early by any account.
I will miss his writings greatly and send his family and loved ones my most heartfelt condoleances.
