Indeed Noumenon! “My dinner with IBM” was a prescient Dvorak column in the early 90’s.

I was always more of a Robert X. Cringely fan.

My understanding is that the Cringely column in InfoWorld was a composite of the editors.

The book “Accidental Empires” by Cringely is a must read for an accurate view of the valley and Microsoft back in the day.

Now, time for me to boot up my 80286 based PS/2! :-)

Alive and IBM's worst nightmare. I subscribe to Cringely's RSS feed. :) (And own a couple of his classic videos)
