"Stan worked so diligently to create and maintain a site concerning Mac related news, even throughout his terminal illness," according to his sister, Julie (Flack) McKenna. "We are honored that others continue that which Stan began. We feel that the needs of the Mac community can be serviced well by both MacTech and MacsimumNews. Stan spoke of them both often, and I'm certain that Stan would be honored to have them carry on his work. Because of Neil Ticktin and Dennis Sellers, MacMinute's traditions, archives and forums will live on, and we sincerely appreciate their willingness, tenacity and long hours to help me make this happen."
"Stan was a true pioneer in Mac media, and will be missed. While MacMinute cannot continue, we wanted to find a way for his legacy to live on and to remember Stan," said Neil Ticktin, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher of MacTech Magazine. "It's been our privilege and honor to assist Stan's sister Julie, and to give MacMinute's readers and forum users a path that keeps Stan's traditions alive."
"It's an honor for me to help, in some small way, to continue Stan's legacy," Macsimum News Editor/Publisher Dennis Sellers says. "Stan was a good friend of mine, from my early days at MacCentral. In fact, Stan is the one who got me involved in the world of online journalism. I've always hoped that Macsimum would have a bit of the flavor of MacCentral, with our own twists. Now we'll do our best to also continue the spirit of MacMinute."

Established in 1984, MacTech Magazine is the only monthly magazine focused on Macintosh at the technical level. Each month, MacTech and MacTech.com is read by over 150,000 technical Macintosh users in over 175 countries … from network administrators to programmers, from solution providers to Enterprise, and in general anyone that's interested in the Macintosh beyond the user level. MacTech's approach has always been that of "How-to" as opposed to the "You can do this" articles in many publications.
MacTech's web site includes not only the magazine's extensive archives and open source projects for the Mac (http://www.macforge.net), but also a community search engine and a news aggregator to keep readers up to date with one look across the community.
