Damn. Always enjoyed Pournelle's writing. I liked his "Chaos Manor" computing articles, too.

I heard he was attacked by two other Jerry Pournelles, and then broken down into components to build another two Jerry Pournelles. :(

RIP to Jerry. I had the pleasure of meeting him a number of times in the 90's. A very talented, accessible writer. He will be missed.
