Yeah, it was a good day. Much love to Dear Reader Larry M. who sent in this chart. O mover of bits, O Linux apostate, O gentleman farmer. Zat's right bro. I know who you be. Much love. Peace out.
[Emphasis added.]This about-face by Dvorak
So loads of people are writing in asking about this recent article by Dvorak in which he admits he's using a Mac and thinks it's a hundred times better than Windows and concedes that's been a big foolish windbag ass-hat Mac-hater, and he's been wrong, and he apologizes, and he prays that someday I can forgive him ... or something like that. So people are asking me, Steve, what do you make of this?

You know what? It scares the **** out of me. Because if this frigtard Dvorak now likes our machines, I think we must have done something wrong. Honestly. This idiot has been so consistently wrong for his entire career that we use him as a contrarian indicator. Now he likes us, and I'm afraid this might mean we've jumped the shark or something. Also, as I've said many times, there are a lot of people who we really don't want using our products. No bias or anything; they just aren't right for us. Dvorak is clearly one of them.
So we're watching this very, very closely to see how it develops. With any luck they'll get JD back on his Alzheimer's medicine and he'll regain his senses and start bashing us again.

*linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htmMicrosoft's Mission Statement is "A computer on every desktop" - with the unspoken rider that each computer should be running Windows. Microsoft and Apple both sell operating systems, and both do their utmost to make sure their products get used by the largest number of people: They're businesses, out to make money.
And then there is FOSS. Which, even today, is almost entirely non-commercial.

- os x in a nutshelldvorak said:I'm thinking about it, perhaps I should rethink my use of the word "elegant" when I describe the machine and the way it functions. See, most people use this word because they love the often-gimmicky stuff, such as the bouncing icons and sweep-away window minimizing. It's all very interesting but superfluous
This is OS X in a nutshell. It is impossible to put it in words, but anyone who actually uses OS X is bound to get this feeling that they are using a much superior and well engineered operating system. Both of you, of course, are exceptions.dvorak said:In my opinion, I sense that the OS is more solid than Microsoft Windows, but I cannot say why exactly.

Yeah, anyone who uses a Mac is stupid. We know but thanks for reminding us again. And what a great logic this is, just because you've bought it, you are bound to like it. WOW! I bought a Nokia 6300 recently and the phone sucks and I admit I made a wrong decision. Buying my MBP, however, was the best decision I ever made in my life. It changed my whole perspective. It made me an author. It saved me from Windows.iMav said:aku likes it good for him he better like it he has paid a stupidly exorbitant amount for it

Computer users also need to unlearn the habit of pressing key shortcuts, ex: Ctrl + C for copy, Ctrl + X for cut, Ctrl + V for paste, on Microsoft Windows). However, some programs and operating systems allow the use of alternate layouts combined with QWERTY shortcuts; for example, Apple's Mac OS X offers a "Dvorak-Qwerty" keyboard layout that temporarily reverts to Qwerty while the Command key is held down.
