Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear about Dan's passing. We worked together as feature writers during the startup of Ziff-Davis Publishing Co.'s PC Week computer newspaper in Needham, Mass. back in 1984. We were all learning about personal computing even as we wrote about this new technology in those early days. But Dan was a bit more experienced than I was and I learned a lot from him about PC and this industry, which helped me alot. My condolences to his family and friends.
