Dvorak thinking (a little) different... You know, even more interesting than the positive article from Dvorak are the reader responses. They are almost uniformly positive about Apple, saying how great it is that Apple is innovating with color and industrial design, castigating PC makers, and so on. Wow. This time last year, any article on Apple with a reader feedback option would immediately devolve into endless bickering about Windows vs MacOS, Apple is dead, etc. It's incredible how far Apple has come in a year. rhet0ric

Mr J be "da man" - not beige or square - and a billionaire from PIXAR ! Good post. J Dvorak's article ends with subtle reasons to be long AAPL for a long while: " Then some lowballers will bring out a PC clone that looks like an iMac (if they can do so without getting sued!), and people will flock to it for a while, but no new direction will come of it. So Apple will then come out with another cool design of some sort, and that will eventually be copied. It's nothing less than pathetic that this industry has so many billionaires who resort to this type of hopelessly conservative copycat marketing. It's a shame that respect for good design and the self-confidence it takes to know what to promote as good design just don't exist on the Wintel side of the business. The systems are designed in the typical CEO's own image: beige and square. " Jim K. ref: zdnet.com
