I haven't contributed to the list in years, but I am very sad to hear about Hardy Macia. In my early Newton days with my 120 I used PocketMoney for all my finance and Hardy was very helpful in answering my questions and helping me along.

I too would like to send my condolences.

That is very sad news in deed. My condolences to his family & friends.

I still use PocketMoney & MPG every day. He was one of the few (only?)
Newton developers whose apps transitioned all the way from Newton,
through Palm, and are now on iOS & Android. To top it all, he still
offered the Newton apps for sale.

Hi,

First of all, please let us know if there is a place we can send condolences.

And if not, and it is possible, please convey my condolences to the family and let them know Hardy was appreciated and that he made a difference. I still remember interacting with Hardy over email and at Newton developer events. He was a wonderful person to work with, and even when he found Newton/Apple frustrating, he was always kind about it. We will miss you sir.

Oh wow. :( Thanks for posting this. My sincere condolences as well. I
will see if I can post in the locations mentioned as well. He wrote
some of the best software for the Newton. I use pocket money on a
regular basis as well. And MPG on occasion. Among others. It is good
to see that his software/company won't just disappear. According to the
blog, his cousin will keep it running for the foreseeable future.

Wow...this is sad news indeed. I remember back in the day, Hardy was saving up his pennies to buy an old train station and convert it to a home for him and his new bride! While he didn't ask for such, many people, including myself, made "donations" so that he could purchase this train station...What he did with it was amazing!
He's stardust now.

Very sad to hear this news.

Hardy was a great developer at the heart of the Newton community and he created some special packages for us. He will be missed.
