Internet : Oliver Wagner Has Passed Away
« on: July 29, 2016, 02:53:35 PM »
Oliver "Olli" Wagner reportedly passed away at age 45 on Wednesday, July 27. He was one of the original authors of well-known MorphOS & Amiga applications such as the Voyager web browser as well as the AmIRC chat client, which was highly influential and often copied on other platforms. In recent years, he managed Tick TS AG, a company that develops and markets trading software to banks and other clients.

Sad news, and so young. :-(

My AmIRC key suddenly feels slightly more precious now, like a priceless relic you're set to guard...

Rest in peace Oliver. You made my early Amiga days more enjoyable.

One of my keys I got over IRC from Olli. I'd forgotten about that until just now.

RIP dude.
