Dvorak: Discontinue the Mac

paradesign writes "In an 'E-Mac, i-Mac, No Mac', John C. Dvorak makes the claim that the Macintosh should be discontinued. He adds, 'I'm not writing this column as a Mac basher to get attention, although plenty of people will accuse me of doing that.' Worth a read, but keep in mind where its published." I am not posting this as a Dvorak basher to make people realize he is clueless, although plenty of people will accuse me of that.

Old journalist who needs to be put to rest

[d0n quix0te]

Isn't it about time the John Dvorak was simply discontinued--put down like an old dog? Why, exactly, does John Dvorak keep putting out his aged crap instead of starting fresh or at least introducing something new with fresh legs. Dvorak has become the Ann Landers of journalism world, except for the fact that she's prettier.

I'm not writing this post as an ageist to get attention, although plenty of people will accuse me of doing that. I've noticed a complete lack of intellectual content of this column for ages, and I'm now beginning to see John C. Dvorak as an old hound that can't hunt.

Some one give this man a shotgun. Or help him contact Jack Kevorkian.

Just for laughs

Here's my favorite quote: "There is no new idea out there short of a talking computer. And the technology for the talking computer is decades away."

I selected the above, right-clicked on it, and chose "speech/start speaking" from the context menu. I got quite a laugh out of hearing my computer talking about how a talking computer is decades away. :-)
