I was very sad to learn of Bill's passing. I loved his column, Technobuddy, and enjoyed reading his advice and stories. Being technology challenged he made me feel like I could do actually do some things. But I loved his best advice as to not make things worse and get out the "plastic (credit card)." My sympathy goes out to his family.

I just came across a column that I had saved from last summer some time. My late husband and I always enjoyed reading his stuff and felt like we could relate to the way he presented what could be difficult-to-understand material.

I am so very sorry, he seemed like a really great guy. Much too young to leave this earth . . .

We talked as recently as June, on email, remembering our days working together in the business section of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, but mostly our days of playing golf, a game at which Bill was purely horrible. He and I and my young son, Drew, age 10, played on many wonderful Sunday afternoons, Bill shooting 10 and 12 on holes with club selections that defied convention, reason and sanity. He was hysterical. Bill was incredibly...
