Ed Foster: the customer's champion

Few technology journalists fought as tenaciously or consistently for so long for the average IT customer as Ed Foster. It was my privilege to work with him at InfoWorld in the 80s and 90s. Ed was one of the best, and the comments pouring in for him at InfoWorld's Web site, in the wake of his death last Saturday, are a lasting testament to the impact Ed had in an industry that needs to be reminded that customers are more important than vendors.

P.S. Ed deserves his own Wikipedia page. I'm always startled by the lesser tech journalists and would-be tech journalists who somehow have gotten this recognition.

P.P.S. The Wikipedia page now exists.
