Oh, sad news. 1 year younger than me. The hits are getting closer.

From way back in the CompuServe FoxForum DOS days, he will forever be remembered with the "Just do a Freeman" phrase as answer to all PC problems, which was short for "FORMAT C: and REINSTALL" :=)

I too considered Dan a good friend during our many years working with the Fox. And although it’s been 20+ years since we hung out together, I can still remember his sharp sense of humor. He truly was APAM!

Hi Kurt,

I explained it in my response 3 hours earlier than yours:

I'm curious RK - can you possibly explain this concept of "Freemanizing"

one's computer??

Dan spoke several times at the NNJFUG back in the day which is where I first

met Ted & Ed and many others in our little community. I was not aware of his

musical background but he is immortalized in our community for the concept

of "Freemanizing" one's computer as needed. My condolences...
