[game_preservation] Robert Holdstock (1948-2009)

[Andrew Armstrong]

Wow, really? I saw him at GameCity, and was about the only person 
discussing their relationship with Elite which was actually interesting 
(even Mr. Braben was pretty boring ;) but they did only have a few 
minutes each). I couldn't make his book reading but it'd be interesting 
to check his book out.

If anyone is interested in writing a memorial piece, or know someone who 
would be good to ask to do so, please give me or Devin a shout (I'll try 
and investigate myself, I need to get a tool to organise this, there's a 
lot of unfinished ones and ones I meant to catch up on). I'll put up a 
brief page this weekend for him.
