I remember first meeting this little bloke back in Australia in the early 80's at a DECUS conference and being so impressed that I was talking to the famous Terry Shannon, journalist, IT commentator, OpenVMS evangelist, Viet Nam vet, and alter ego of Charlie Matco.

Over the years at various conferences, I've said Hi! and talked to Terry, and attended his great presentations.

So it's with a certain amount of sadness that I learned he has passed away. I'll miss him jumping into a conversation, apparently from nowhere, and his keen insights into industry trends.

Vale, Terry. Rest in peace.
