I’m quite late to finding out about this, but it’s quite awful to learn. I was hoping he’d be able to complete his documentary of Gary Kildall, but that may never happen now.
He died on December 28th of last year from the flu.
Rest in peace, Stewart.

I learnt of his shows through the Old Timey Computer Show.
I’ve spent many hours with Computer Chronicles and Net Cafe episodes running on my second monitor from that stream.
RIP Stewart.
For those who are interested, check out the interview with Stewart on the Floppy Days podcast …libsyn.com/floppy-days-78-interview-with-stewart…
He will be missed. His positive impact in the world cannot be overstated.

We’ve turned his website into a memorial.

That’s a wonderful effort. Thanks for creating it! Wasn’t aware of computerchronicles.tv

Well I made that too! And it’s only a few days old.
