Well in case anyone missed it, John Dvorak had a book published a couple months
ago called DVORAK PREDICTS. In it are a collection of his personal editorials
which included the stupidity of the Apple II in the educational market. He may
be able to predict macrorelationships, but microrelationshipsare too hard for
anyone to predict. Yeah sure the Apple II market is small. However according
to Professor Gumby in the latest GS+ "IIGS developers I've talked to say that
their business has also been improving over the last few months!" I say let
people use what ever machine they think best for them. I've seen features
in the latest Appleworks 4.0 that beats the socks off of higher priced
spreadsheets in the mac or pc markets.
On a side note I believe the writers at Byte have email addresses
and I think I saw Dvorak's somewhere just can get my hands on it now.
