Has anybody heard from Dorsal recently? His postings on AppleInsider describing prototype hardware where very interesting and quite accurate. Where is he posting now?

there was some person calling himself dorsal posting at these forums some months ago, few weeks after the shutdown of ai iirc. back then, some people however would doubt if he were that real dorsal from appleinsider. so he made a few posts here, but obviously didn�t care to return after some peolpe accused him being a fake.

btw: i used to read on the ai boards as well when the "original" dorsal spread his exciting infos... ah, those were the grand days of ai.

Gulliver, I beg to differ. Few if any of Dorsals A.I. posts, or at least those in the months leading up to the quicksilver introductions, were accurate. He/she/it posted interesting rumors, but despite those rumors covering virtually every possible update to the tower machines, he got essentially none of it right. He vanished immediately afterward and has not returned. My opinion is that he/she/it was little more than an attention seeking troll.

This is the Babelfish German to English translation of what dr. zoidberg just wrote:

i was just saying (sort of) hello to an austrian fellow. didn�t realize he was austrian until i had submitted my response.

so let�s get back to topic. aren�t there any more dorsal fans left in here?

Um guys, since this is the Power Mac forum and not the Where's Dorsal forum, when and how was this thread ever on topic? Transferring into the Lounge.
