Tim Robertson, RIP
Confirmed with the family this morning that @mymac founder Tim Robertson passed away after a recent illness.
Tim was not just a mainstay of Apple blogging, podcasting and smart analysis for decades, but one of the very nicest people I’ve ever met.
Like ATPM, My Mac began in 1995 and was originally published in DOCMaker format. Each issue was a standalone app-document file, downloadable like shareware from AOL and eWorld.
Update (2025-07-08): John Nemerovski:
Tim recruited, inspired, and nurtured the writing of dozens of regular and guest contributors to MyMac.com, publishing thousands of articles over the course of three decades. His MyMac Podcasting Network has also hosted thousands of episodes of shows such as Tech Fan, GeeksPub, Geekiest Show Ever, and The Essential Apple Podcast.
He accomplished it all as a dedicated Apple aficionado, with very little advertising or sponsorship, while working a day job as a car salesman. MyMac contributors, like Tim, have always been unpaid volunteers who create content at a professional level.

Tim was a one-of-a-kind, fearless leader. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family in Michigan and encourage anyone who knew him to share their stories on his official obituary.
