- John C. Dvorak is a babbling fool who jumps on whatever bandwagon
- is trendy for the issue of PC Rag or Computer Shopper he has to snivel for.
-
- He has decided he can get some mileage out of calling Microsoft the
- "Evil Empire" and IBM the "Poor picked on good guys who are having a bit of
- a rough time because of all the evil companies like MS." Hence his new
- found fanaticism with anything IBM-related.
-
- His latest Theories include such howlers as "IBM Paid for all of NT's
- development, and MS is shafting them by not letting them see the code and
- turning around and selling it, all the while continuing to use IBM money,"
- and others that truly stretch the imagination.

- The guy has NO idea what he is talking about ("The new P5 chip will
- use something new and powerful developed at Intel called 'pipelining'" ---
- HELLO FUCKHEAD!!!! The 486 has a 5 stage pipeline, and the CDC6600 was
- pipelining in 1970!!!)
-
- He hasn't changed in the slightest bit since I started reading
- him well over three years ago. They should just put the fucker to sleep to
- spare us all the misery of his tripe.
-
-
- Fuck that guy is almost as bad as Jerry Pournelle ("Cat, my old MITS Altair
- died yesterday. I had to get a little mad at the time though, I mean,
- not a single shop I called had the right kind of vacuum tube..")
-
- Christ.
-
- Toodlepip!
