Adam Osborne passes away


Came across this article in the New York Times. Adam Osborne, son of writer Arthur Osborne (author of several books about Bhagavan), passed away in Kodaikanal, India on March 18th, 2003.

Adam Osborne, a British technical writer who became one of Silicon Valley's legends by introducing the first portable personal computer in 1981, died on March 18 in Kodiakanal, India. He was 64.

Dr. Osborne was born in Thailand in 1939 to British parents. He grew up in southern India, where his father, the writer Arthur Osborne, a devotee of Sri Ramana Maharshi, helped popularize ideas from Eastern religion in the West.
