PCWorld founder David Bunnell remembered: The mutiny, the magazines, the Mao suit<article>
<section class="page">
<p>David Bunnell staged the mutiny that started PCWorld—and he once famously wore a Chairman Mao suit to a company meeting. As we mourn Bunnell’s passing on Tuesday night, PCWorld’s launch and the Mao stunt surface most among the editors who knew him. We’ve started collecting memories about Bunnell, and will add to this story as we reach out to compatriots who worked with David over the years.</p><p>Bunnell and Cheryl Woodard put out the first issue of
PC Magazine in January, 1982, only to leave later that year with most of the staff after the publication was sold to Ziff-Davis without their consent. With funding from our parent company, IDG, that staff started
PC World (as the print magazine was then spelled) with founding editor Andrew Fluegelman. The magazine quickly grew to be a leader in technology journalism. Bunnell went on to co-found
Macworld and other technology publications for IDG, and eventually left for other ventures.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3133327/tech-events-dupe/pcworld-founder-david-bunnell-remembered-the-mutiny-the-magazines-the-mao-suit.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
