On Friday night I decided to google a client I had not heard from since late last year. This client was an elderly gentleman who happened to answer my first print advertisement looking for people who wanted to 'learn computers and the internet'. We spent many hours together since 2002 and I so much enjoyed seeing the joy he experienced from being able to log into his club and see the weekly menu to researching all the places he and his wife would stop at on their driving holidays. Being a geologist he also loved visiting sites like the Smithsonian Institute and printing out photos of superior gemstones. He advanced from the old round iMac to a flash 20inch white model and was so impressed when I organised to upgrade his broadband to the super fast ADSL2.
I should have been suspicious that he had not called me in for over a year. We last communicated by email and he mentioned health issues. He was so bright so sharp that I thought ge would live to be 100.
I was wrong. My sweet lovely first Mac client passed away on 23 June aged 90.
Google gave me the only result I had hoped not to find - his death notice in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Vale. John - I will remember you fondly always.
