Not blogging — at least I don’t think so. He moved to Maui years ago with Ruth. John Dodge might have his contact info. Search for the Dodge retort.

I was at PC Week from 1988-1994 after interning the summer of 1987. Quite an experience and cast of characters. I’ve been at IDC since then as a market researcher. I remember well trying (and failing) to chase down the IBM MicroChannel cloners for Mr. Churbuck. And writing stories about floppy-drive shortages and laptop carseats using the king of word processors, XyWrite. Hello to everyone from back then, I always look up at the 11th floor of the Prudential when I’m in Boston. I’m at dcchandler@yahoo.com.

I can not believe this Internet–a blog for PCWeek alumi. Is there anything you can’t find on the Internet?
On a particularly slow Thursday afternoon on the city desk at the Denver Post, I tried googling Rich Duffy, whom I never heard from again after we very drunkenly signed a bottle of champagne the night before he moved with Ruth to Hawaii. That was in 1986. I was supposed to bring it out to Hawaii and never did. Does know where Rich is or what happened to him?
Hello to Beth, Sam, John Dodge and all the others.
What a funny time that was in my life, maybe in others’ as well.
Would love to hear from anyone. mmcphee@denverpost.com

Of course, when I referred to the Framingham days in the above post, I meant Needham. Being out of touch so long made my Boston metro geography a little screwy.

Anyway, if anyone wants to get in touch with me directly, go to my website http://www.docaltmed.com.

Yeah, it was done on the fly with Nvu, no less, and sort of looks like it was put together by a bunch of drunken monkeys. But the writing *still* sparkles, eh?
