In the early ’90s, a guide was published that would help millions of Americans better understand a new technology that was roosting on their desks: personal computers.
That guide was “How Computers Work,” and it was written by San Antonian Ron White.
White, a journalist who worked at the San Antonio Express-News and the San Antonio Light, died Jan. 5 in a downtown hospital. He was 76 and had been suffering complications from heart disease.
