Please remember Robert. Picture of Robert's Face
Robert Hess, 29, an associate editor at MacWEEK, passed away January 12,1996 from complications due to pneumonia. In addition to being a fine reporter and a great guy, Robert was the founder and keeper of all the Macworld party lists.
Robert was truly a gem: technically savvy, insightful, honest, and approachable. We shall all miss him. -- Guy Kawasaki 1/16/96
MacTech Remembers Robert.
Notable sigs from Robert's email:
4/95: "Some days it just doesn't pay to be a smartass."
1995: "3/4 Americans bought lottery tix. 1/500 made political contributions."
7/95: "No fear. No regret. No compromise. Don't mess with me today, Monkeyboy."
11/94: "A NY LBO king may own my lazy butt but my opinions are still mine."
11/94: "Work at Apple? Wanna get a co-worker fired? Call me from their phone." (The best days of MacWeek.)
Please remember Robert by making a contribution in Robert's name to DQ .
