anzac Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 It´s a pity that the world loses a great person and a great Atarian. RIP Techie_Alison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm genuinely stunned to hear this dreadful news. Alison was very helpful to me over at Atari Forum, and it was clear she was held in extremely high regard by the community. Very sad and shocking.

Shredder11 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Alison was very helpful to me over at Atari Forum, and it was clear she was held in extremely high regard by the community. Very sad and shocking. You are not wrong there, I know for sure that she was very highly regarded. I've just left a comment over at Atari-Forum and I am still in shock.

+wood_jl Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 That sucks. I didn't know her, but I was well-aware of some of what she had done. That's really sad. She has a website..... http://www.logicsays.com/ ......and what's interesting is clicking on "HISTORY" at the top where she puts in a little blurb about the computers she has owned. RIP.

puppetmark Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) So Sad. I will think of her when ever I use my 520ST that I upgraded to 4MB with her instructions and help. Thanks for everything Alison. We are all richer for knowing you. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

carmel_andrews Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Shame that alison is no longer I think that is now 2 atarians from atari-forum no longer with us (the other one being perhillion or however it was spelt...he of the ST ML tutorials fame, in conjuntion with someone called 'postmortem') Sounds like atari-forum needs to repopulate the world with new atarians, before we all meet out maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanallan Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 She helped me set up a ST through email once, if I am remembering right. I will miss her though I never got to meet her. RIP Techie_Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztee Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I know its a bit late, but I was shocked & saddened to hear this news. I got to meet Alison a couple of times & was one of the bubbliest people I've met. I remenber sitting in her house with the Jag VR unit in pieces, while she figured out how to make me a cable. A great loss to everyone who knew her. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathanallan Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I used waybackmachine to check, this is the latest thing I came up with (there are older, said 5 snapshots in all): http://replay.web.archive.org/20090312074026/http://www.logicsays.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredder11 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have a 3.71MB PDF of her entire website as it was 13-08-2008 which had not really changed at all since that date, plus with the help of another Atari-Forum.com person I got most of the newer website. I'd upload the PDF file here but the maximum size allowed says 2MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Terrible news, I never know what to say at a time like this. She was an extremely nice and friendly person who went well out of her way to help me out, building a video cable for me to connect my ST's monitor out to standard RCA plugs. She even sent me a postcard from where she lived in England in the package which shows how friendly she was and I enjoyed talking with her about computers of old versus computers of today. Rest in peace Alison, you were a great asset to the Atari community and will be missed. Edited May 20, 2011 by VW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Very upset to find out about this! She will be truly missed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
