RIP, David Prowse. Thank you for making my childhood more interesting than it had a right to be.

I'm putting a somewhat personal one in here: Adam Banks. Most of you wouldn't have known him, but this editor and designer was the creative driver behind two eras of MacUser magazine, including its final (and superb) incarnation. He was a gentle, brilliant man, eager to find new ways to be creative and to help organisations and individuals thrive, most notably in his beloved north east. He was my favourite editor and a friend. Taken from us far too soon, given that he was only in his 50s.

RIP, Adam.

Actor David Prowse, who played Darth Vader in the first Star Wars trilogy, died of complications from Covid-19, his daughter has told UK newspapers. Prowse died Saturday at the age of 85, though a cause of death was not specified by his manager at that time.

In an interview with UK's The Sun, Prowse daughter Rachel confirmed that her father, who suffered from Alzheimer's, had been hospitalized for the last two weeks with Covid. Confirming the cause of death, Rachel Prowse said, "It's horrible that Covid restrictions meant we did not get to see him and say goodbye. But when we went to collect his stuff from the hospital the nurse said what a cool guy he was. He was such a larger-than-life character. He would have loved to see himself trending on Twitter."

I found out today he'd have been 52 next week. That's just far too young.

Really sorry about your friend, IP,  that's horribly young.  I was a devotee of MacUser in happier times, although don't know if this coincided with his tenure. I can see an unstable little tower of early 2000/2010s MacUser (and Mac Format, I suspect) cover disks from where I sit, the end result of successive culls in which I could never quite convince myself that I wouldn't need some font or PowerPC applet again.
