How did he die?

Sorry. I just noticed the bit about the traffic accident.
I'm assuming that Stefan Gandl is Ozzy.
That guy was a sweetheart. He sent me a free copy of DSOS1 with a nice little note just before it came out, only because I was the first person to post a message on their site.
Man. How sad. He'll be missed.

That's it - great book as well. Ozzy is (er... I guess WAS) the guide through the book. He also welcomed you in the CD-ROM and took you to the secret website. I'm spoiling it all for you and it probably sounds weird, but you should own the manual. They remind you of that on every other page!
Seriously - it is a great book and a great collaboration of the three guys. The book takes you to a website where you can play games and win fonts. The book's CD rom is required for the secret site. You login through that. The book also contains some eps files, some wild desktops, ico's etc... It even has a pice of software in there where you can morph your own fonts and make weird shapes and 3d stuff.
You can tell those three had a blast making the thing.
Don't worry, I am saddened by Ozzy's passing. I'm looking for a portrait now...

well thanks gravity..
but still, he is a real person right?
if this would be some inside joke it would be really low.
but i have enough reason to believe ozzy is one of the 3 designers..

Just as autonoma I assumed that Stefan Gandl was Ozzy.

Dunno if Ozzy is a mascot or not, however, Ozzy and Stefan indeed shared the same birthday.

Rest in piece.
In all honesty, I didn't know him on a one-on-one basis, but the fact that he died on my birthday made it a little more personal.

Ozzy was apparently the avatar from the first ds01 cdrom, whether or not this related to any real person I have no clue.
If so, my respects and condolences are with you and your family. I truly feel sick when talented and valuable people are taken, something doesn't seem quite fair.
Rest in peace.

I did read the book. What I'm trying to say is that Stefan Gandl was the mind behind Ozzy, I believe.
