Stewart Cheifet, PBS host of Computer Chronicles who broadcast the PC revolution, dies at 87

Iโm quite late to finding out about this, but itโs quite awful to learn. I was hoping heโd be able to complete his documentary of Gary Kildall, but that may never happen now. He died on December 28th of last year [https://obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-cheifet] from the flu. Rest in peace, Stewart.
