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 of 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
"We lost a lot when we lost Robert on Jan. 12. His contributions permeated this column as they did the magazine and the Macintosh community. We will miss him enormously, but the inspirations of his talent, strength and spirit remain with us." MacInTouch - Ric Ford
TidBITS remembers Robert (search for Hess on the page).
Read Robert's future prophesy from WWDC
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."
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 your favorite charity. .
