ONE OF THE BIG NAMES in Mac fanboy journalism has died.
Stan Flack, who founded MacCentral and MacMinute, died due to health complications related to a congenital liver disease. He was 42.

According to his obits, which have been flooding the net, Flack came up with the idea to turn MacCentral into a daily online news paper. That was in the days when there were only a few of them about, and certainly not about Macs, which were such a minority interest.

The site managed to grow and was eventually flogged to Mac Publishing in 1999 when the website was merged with MacWorld never to be seen again.

MacMinute was founded by Flack in 2001, soon after he walked from MacCentral. It is still running. µ
