This is not the news I was expecting (or wanting) to see this morning while checking my RSS feeds. I’m in complete shock.
I first read Charles’ “Enterprise Mac Administrators Guide” upon its release around 2015. This book helped tremendously in my path to managing Apple devices at VICE.
I first met Charles at MacSysAdmin in 2019. It’s here we discovered each other’s deep interest in computing history. We spent a good chunk late into the night at “The Bash” event talking. A few days later I offloaded a massive list of books via email I’ve read to help in his “History of Computing” project.
Since then we would keep in touch, emailing when finding anything of interest be it video, web snippets or more books about early technology. Even though, in theory, we barely knew each other, he reached out and approached me as if we had been long time friends. Seeing him again this past October, nearly three years later in-person at MacSysAdmin, it was like time had never passed.
Looking in the MacAdmins Slack and other Apple-centric sites/blogs, it’s amazing to see how many lives he’s touched.
You will be missed!
