I learned how computers/PCs worked reading InfoWorld and Byte magazine. (I put in 40 years in the biz).
Never met him, but I felt like we were friends. Admittedly, some of his predictions missed the bullseye (still waiting for IBM to go bust). But he was fearless and self deprecating. For me his writing style just a pleasure to read.
He made a difference in my life.
Peace to you Robert X. Cringely.
