John Dvorak 竟然喜歡用Mac！
Published by Kelly July 26th, 2007 in Odds and Ends.經常在專欄唱衰蘋果，故意挑釁Mac users 的John Dvorak，最近因公事要使用Mac，用後他一改作風，竟然讚Mac 好用同易用，節錄部份內容：
“I can see why the Mac is gaining market share, because the rationale for using one is simple. Do you want to deal with the agony of antivirus, firewall, antispyware, and other touchy software subsystems, many of which do not work well? Or do you want to boot Microsoft Word and write a document and be done with it?
As someone who does recommend gear to people, I have to think to myself, “Should I recommend something that will come back to haunt me, or recommend a Mac with its higher price but lower hassle factor?” The answer is simple. I hate the idea of having to do customer service for people who cannot keep their systems clean, and that’s most people.”
John Dvorak 說雖然自己無打算買Mac，不過會向朋友推薦。Dvorak，相信現在你明白為甚麼媒體普遍唱好蘋果了吧？
咦?佢係咩雜誌的人?@_@a
真是太陽從西邊昇起了吧!
I think people are being unfair, do you really believe that Dvorak is so stupid that he can’t tell the advantage Mac has over PC?
This bit of his above-linked article struck me as seldom-mentioned truth:
‘Over the years, one of the things that most of us old-timers (gak) will tell you is that you often get a “feeling” for a machine that’s more meaningful than what benchmark tests or performance numbers tell you. Some machines feel faster than others, for example. This is probably the best way to approach any analysis or comparison of the Mac versus the PC. In my opinion, I sense that the OS is more solid than Microsoft Windows, but I cannot say why exactly.’
Frankly, I don’t think much of Dvorak-bashers who bash him merely for being a Mac-basher.
