I really, really enjoyed the Info 64/Info/.Info magazines. I thought they had great 64/128/Amiga articles, excellent reviews, great humor, and I loved their rumors column. Plus, it was all created on Commodore hardware. I was sadden when they folded in 1992.

Aw, I didn't know.  :(  Mark was a very active member on the now-defunct Commodore128.org forum.  He had such insight, especially since he came from the publishing world.  In fact, I sold him a NIB Commodore 128 motherboard during that time.  But then, all of a sudden, he dropped off the forum.  This was several years ago when the forum was still going.

The news of Mark's passing is another surprise for me.  I recently found out that K. Dale Sidebottom, president of the LUCKY (Louisville Users of Commodore Kentucky) and big-time GEOS user, had passed away in 2015, too.  Dale was the organizer of the annual LUCKY Expo and came to the very first CommVEx back in 2005.  I suppose he came to wish us well with our show.  I appreciated his enthusiasm and kindness.

To both men, rest in peace.

Truly,
Robert Bernardo
