I subscribed to Karen's newsletter. Any one else that did, will or probably already has received an email through the newsletter subscription on Karen's passing.

Reply from Fred Langa after Fred received an email from her brother Bill:
Karen Kenworthy wrote a very popular column for Windows Magazine, when I was there. She was as good a programmer (I still use some of her "Karenware" software today) as she was a wordsmith (her readers loved her stuff). I have none but positive memories of working with Karen.

Well, that is a bummer, I had not heard that. I have used Karen's Replicator app and have suggested it many times.

Also:
- 13" Apple MacBook Air, 2013, i7 @ 1.7GHz, 8GB DDR3, 256GB SSD
- HP Deskjet 3050A
- Two HP ZV5000 laptops (the better of the two recently broke)
- A Compaq Evo D310 (has 2GB RAM and a 2.53GHz P4 but is curiously extremely slow)
- A desk fan - this weather is warm ;)
- A fair few retro consoles
- Too many cables behind the desk, probably a fire hazard.
Windows Magazine was the first computer magazine I bought a subscription to and I remember lots of articles from Karen. May she rest in peace.

Jim
