There was an interesting article about Mossberg in the New Yorker
recently. Wonder if it is online.
Ah, yes:
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/05/14/070514fa_fact_auletta
Mossberg is not an especially daunting presence. He is sixty years
old, bald and pudgy, and was wearing a purple open-necked shirt with
the sleeves rolled up.

A bookcase held computers from the dawn of the consumer-computing
age: a Timex Sinclair 1000, an Atari 800, a Radio Shack TRS 80 Model
100, a Commodore 64, an Apple IIe, and the first Palm Pilot, among
others.
