This reminded me of reading articles in my teenage years from him in PC Magazine (literally in a magazine, pre WWW days). It also made me curious to find out if the DVORAK keyboard was still around - it is, but increasingly rare . . .

Same. The picture posted above is not at all what I had in my mind. I got my first commercial personal computer in the very late seventies, a TRS-80 Model 1, and from then on if not before was devouring everything I could read in every PC magazine of the day. He was a very prolific journalist in the early '80s.
