Did you ever think Apple would ever move to Intel a few years ago? Did you say to yourself "it ain't happenin'" back then?

Some of the crap, has been pretty accurate even when called outlandish when first posted.

So is a dead clock, twice a day for decades on end. Centuries even. Possibly millennia...

You certainly have a bitter side to your personality, Lighten up! I am not saying it is going to happen. It is just an interesting possibility, as is very similar to what he wrote a few years ago when everyone here here said it would never happen.

It's not interesting, it's not a possibility, it's tired, he was a decade late with 1/3 of his wild ass crap, and I'll lighten up when you grow a sense of humor. As likely as Mac OS morphing into fuçking Windoze, as opposed to vice versa, as always...

Don -

That's a good one. Dvorak is always interesting, if often wrong.

In this article he devotes two paragraphs to the idea that a lack of drivers for peripherals "would be" a big problem for Apple. As if this is a problem that will develop in the future.

"As someone who believed that the Apple OS x86 could gravitate toward the PC rather than Windows toward the Mac, I have to be realistic. It boils down to the add-ons. Linux on the desktop never caught on because too many devices don't run on that OS. It takes only one favorite gizmo or program to stop a user from changing. Chat rooms are filled with the likes of 'How do I get my DVD burner to run on Linux?' This would get old fast at Apple."

Apple has always had this driver issue to deal with. Sometimes it's a problem. Since their market share is increasing, it will become less of a problem over time.

It's also strange to say that Linux hasn't caught on in a bigger way because of driver issues. Drivers are only one of the many stumbling blocks the average user faces with Linux.

Bigger companies than Apple have dropped their proprietary OSs in favor of Windows—think IBM and OS/2.


And look how many of those companies continued to make money selling high-end Windows boxes. Oh, yeah, none. They dumped those businesses. Dvorak is an idiot.

Dvorak's POV on Apple and AAPL has been obvious forever. Bummer he missed the boat.

He's still missing the boat. So did you. Most of it, anyway. I know, I know, you made up for your screw up sale (post taxes) elsewhere, sorta, kinda, part of it anyway, a bit...
