Yeah, I enjoyed his "Chaos Manor" column (probably the "go to" column I read 1st in BYTE Magazine, which was a great deal in the 1990's. I had a six-year subscription, running from 1993 to end of 1999. Unfortunately, they got bought out by someone in 1998 (i think) and I was offered 2 one year subscriptions to something much less read...
On a separate note,
BYTE magazine always seemed to have the best articles on hardware and numerous OSes; especially Object-oriented OSes that were all the rage like GEOS, BeOS, OS/2 and NeXTSTEP. My personal favorite Object based OS we used to use at work was OS/400, later to become i5/OS and now IBM i, but that ended in the early 2000s as we migrated to Microsoft.
