Marc Orchant, who until recently blogged on ZDNet’s network, had a heart attack on Sunday, according to his co-author at Blognation USA.

Oliver Starr writes:

At some time between 7:30 and 8:10 AM on Sunday Morning December 2nd, 2007, Marc Orchant, my fellow author on this blog, as well as one of my closest friends sustained a massive heart attack while working in his home office. At this time Marc is in critical condition at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Critical Cardiac Care Unit, Bed 3. He is not expected to regain consciousness for the next 24 to 48 hours.

Oliver has more details on his post and we pray that Marc will recover back to full strength. Apparently, Marc was in fine health but had clogged arteries.
