❤ Gordon. Thank you for coming back and for sharing. You continue to be an inspiration both professionally and personally. And Adam, you've been doing great helping where it's been needed for PC World. We already talked about this, but I've been impressed with your field reporting. I'm glad you and Gordon have each other on the same team so that you guys can work together to cover for each other when it's needed.

[FakeGordonMahUng]

Thank you everyone for responding with support... I can't respond to everyone but am reading and liking as many as I can. It means a lot...

Stay strong Gordon! We are all here for you!

[OzTalksHW]

Praying for you Gordon. Stay strong man. We're rooting for you!

Gordon has been reviewing our PCs for 25 years. We painted the case on the cover of that Maximum PC issue Adam held up. To say we would not be where we are today without Gordon is not hyperbole. There is no bigger champion of enthusiast PCs, and his rants push our industry to be better every year. Stay strong Gordon!

❤❤ love you Gordon!
You have always been really kind to me and always have had time to hang out with me in person and being able to call you a friend is an absolute honour. You are a legend in our industry and I told Klaire this a little while ago but I used to read your articles when I was in my late teens. Now I'm almost 40 and we are friends. That to me is insane. Adam you are a legend. I love you too mate, even if I have to look at the sky when talking to you because you're so tall.

From the moment I got the news about cancer, in one of the most uncommon places (sinus, below my left eye), to the moment I was cancer free, it was one of the hardest things to battle in my life. That was in 2011 and in 2019 I was officially free. Remember Gordon, we stand behind you and we will keep lifting you up. We all need to grieve the worst news and celebrate the small victories. When someone asks, now that I am soon turn 62, how my life has been - I say it is fantastic. No cancer and no heart attack, nothing will bring me down - keep looking for the silver lining. Even in the darkest hour, close your eyes and be thankful for what you have become and what legacy you leave behind. Cry when you must, laugh when you can.

Gordon, thank you for everything. This man is a legend. He was in Computer Chronicles in 2001 talking pc gaming with the OG Stewart Cheifet on PBS. He wrote at Maximum PC magazine and hosted the No BS Podcast. And this is only the stuff I remember off the top of my head. He's done us such a service over the decades - braving CES and Computex every freaking year, explaining usb like I'm 5, and being among the realist journalists to tech execs and industry insiders. Really, get rest and get better. You owe us nothing. <3

Best wishes and stay strong Gordon. I've enjoyed working with you for a long time and hope to continue.

[tasteliketofu]

Stay strong Gordon. Fighting Cancer is a long battle. You will get through this. You and those close to you will have ups and downs. Keep fighting you will get through this. My wife went through this and is clear so far.

[whitemoses]

As happy as I am to see you on the video again - I am also very sorry to hear of the bad news and the difficulties you're going through - stay strong Gordon - you're the man! - pure love and support for you ❤

[fleemwings]

Gordon, I think you and I are lucky enough to come from an age when computers came down from mainframe and minis to the PC. It was a great time for you to be in the industry and to cover it as a journalist. You are a respected figure even now, in these days of video streaming and the slow death of the print media. Of course, age catches up with us and health issues will become a greater part of life. I am saddened by the news of your cancer and I pray that you make a full recovery. I hope you will continue to mentor Adam and return to PC World full time as soon as you are ready. Thanks for coming back to share the news and I wish you well in your journey.

So sorry you are going through this Gordon. I’ve been a fan and reading your articles since the Max Pc days in the 90s. The Full Nerd podcast has been making my commute enjoyable for years. Thank you for everything you have done for the PC community!

[undertone]

Heal up Gordon 💪. Thank you for taking you time to speak with us and share. You will win this fight!

[anthonyandthemachine]

This show finally got me into the pc! I’m always amazed at what I can do with my computer and I love hearing y’all talk about it. I still have a Full Nerd book I won from when I first started listening and I display it on my shelf. I always look at it and remember this was when I really got into the pc and I’m so glad I did. I’ve missed you Gordon! It was good seeing you and hearing you on the show again! Please go with that idea of y’all looking through old mags and telling stories. Can’t wait to see you back on the show again! We love ya dude!!! ❤

[kousakasan]

Gordon. Hang in there! My wife and I are both cancer survivors. Chemo socks. (Whut?!?! Sucks... autocorrect still not working after all these years...) You are at the top of my reviewers list. You're honest and bring in the human element, not just numbers. Before you, I had Digital Dave, LOL. From ComputorEdge magazine in San Diego. But your contribution to the pc world is much appreciated. I never understood why the rest of your teammates didn't get your arguments at times. But they didn't live through the early years of the industry.

[rayw]

I’m sorry to hear that you are recovering from cancer Gordon. I hope you a fast and effective recovery, and please take the time to rest up.

[haggardmelon]

Gordon, I first started listening to you about 10 years ago on the No BS Podcast and soon after subscribed to Maximum PC and have been listening to you ever since. Thanks for everything you do! Hang in there. Looking forward to having you back on the Full Nerd when you come out of this.

[OfficialPCMR]
