The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Rest in Peace, Adrian Hands

    Will be in my prayers tonight. But I must admit that was a hardcore act there.

    I'm not sure I would spend the remaining days/hours of my life writing code for a bug-fix. To each his own.

    Nah, I don't want all that Ubuntu stuff around it, just a nice clean Gnome2.

    All one can ask is to be doing that which they love and to be with (or in contact with) those that they love when it is time to exit stage left (whether it is coding, sitting in the park, cooking, reading a good book or whatever...).

    Exactly. It was obviously his passion, and he was able to accomplish a great feat before he died. Some can only dream of doing something great with their passion before they die, he actually did it.
