Hi,
I am a former writer for a small part of the UK IT press. After the sad passing of Oric legend Jonathan "Twilighte" Bristow in 2013 I published an obituary in my retro column for the magazine Micro Mart (no longer published).
Unfortunately, due to a fire last year, I have lost most of my issues of Micro Mart (as well as some very rare computer hardware including a genuine 16K Oric-1). Does anyone have the issue with Jonathan's obituary piece in please? I ask as I now work with one of his former colleagues who has asked if I still have it.
Many thanks in advance.
Shaun.

Hi Shaun!
I think you contacted me (others too, I suppose) to say a few words the day he passed away. Probably used that for your obituary. Unfortunately I don't have a copy. I will have a look, in case you sent me something, but I found nothing on a quick first search through my email.
Best regards!

Thank-you Mike.
I now have the copy in Drop Box which I can share. The tribute was in issue 1263 of Micro Mart if you would like to find it yourself.
I've just read the tribute back. What a beautiful man he was.
Regards,
Shaun

As I said to Dbug (or is it Debug) earlier, I probably didn't get the chance to say thank-you enough to people like Jonathan. Without you guys, I wouldn't have had much of a column for 12 years of my life. So a big THANK-YOU to all 8-bit enthusiasts, hackers, developers, end-users and everyone in between for keeping the dream alive. So many good games were developed with love, especially on machines like the Oric.
Warmest of regards,
Shaun.

It's a very good idea to share this mag. I'll be happy to read it.
And there's also the ceo-mag dedicated to Jonathan
