Stewart Computer & Supply, Inc was sold in 1993 and Stewart moved to Fort Myers, FL where he continued to write computer diagnostic software for 8080 based machines until 1997, and was a frequent contributor to The PC Troubleshooter magazine.

He now lives in Cape Coral, FL where he is a ham radio operator, call sign N4CRO, an infrequent scuba diver and an avid amateur weather enthusiast.
