Upon careful consideration and with deep sadness, I regret to inform Stan’s MacMinute readers that we are unable to continue operating the MacMinute website at this time. It is not that we do not have the passion, nor is it because of the emotional pain attached to it. Due to reasons that are completely beyond our control, we are neither able to sell nor operate MacMinute.
This is part of the post found at macminute.com by his sister, Julie. Stan Flack – founder of MacMinute had passed away a month earlier and his family has been taking care of his estate. Since Stan was a major part of his website, the information has remained stagnant since April 11th.
Stan was one of the first online web pioneers in Mac information. He was part owner of MacCentral in 94, which 5 years later he sold to MacWorld. Stan took a small sabbatical, then came back in 2001 with macminute. Stan reported on everything Mac for the last 7 years.
What I take from the post is that they might be looking for someone to take the reins over. It would be a sad day if we were to loose the 7 years of content that site holds. I know I have been to that site about a hundred times or more – It would be devastating if it wasn’t part of any Mac fans’ daily read.
