Dvorak has a piece in this month's Macworld 20th anniversary issue. What the hell are they thinking? I think I'm going to cancel my subscription, that asshole has no place in my Mac world.

They put the little piece by Dvorak because at one time he was a Mac advocate and wrote for the magazine MacUser. Dvorak likes to bash Apple and the Mac now. He is a no talent tool. He is so bad they cancelled his show on TechTV a few years ago because no one watched it.

He is one of those people...
When he was young, he loved the Mac and all the newness...
Now that he is getting old, he can't stand change.

I think there's more to it than becoming an old geezer. His mac bashing started when MacWorld canned his ass during the MacWorld/MacUser merge. (Sour Grapes?) He moved over to PC Magazine after that.

Nah, he's bashed the Mac since it came out. Read this link:
http://www.imouse.ca/resources/Macin...tsthePress.pdf
Scroll down to "San Francisco Examiner." You'll find some really great, forward-looking comments of his describing why the Mac was going to fail. Among them are:
The machine uses an experimental pointing device called a 'mouse'.
Who out there in the general marketplace even knows what a 'font' is?
What businessman knows about point size or typefaces or the value of variable point size?
The nature of the personal computer revolution is simply not fully understood by companies like Apple (or anyone else, for that matter). Apple makes the arrogant assumption of thinking that it knows what you want and need. It, unfortunately, leaves the 'why' out of the equation - as in 'why would I want this?'"
Way to go, John - you really hit the nail on the head with that article.
