Dvorak tries a Mac… he likes it!

Filed under: ,

As most everyone reading this no doubt knows, John Dvorak hasn’t exactly shown much love to Macs (and all things Apple) over the years. Mac fanboys may now want to brace themselves, however, as it seems Dvorak has had a change of heart — sorta. While he still has “no plans to move to the Mac platform for my personal use,” Dvorak has apparently been using a Mac for the past few months and, shockingly, admits to liking it. Of course, he isn’t quite exuberant in his praise, calling the system he’s been using (an iMac) “not half bad,” adding that “it’s very quiet, and it performs as well as the PC on general office applications.” He also found that “the interface is slicker,” and that he didn’t get the feeling that the computer was going to ” start acting weird because of some virus, spyware, or endless Firefox loading procedure.” But other than that, he says, he “cannot see much of a difference between the Mac and PC.” He even apparently found doing some things on the Mac, like burning CDs, “convoluted.” Despite that, he says he has taken to recommending Macs to friends and neighbors, although we somehow suspect he won’t go so far as to recommend an iPhone anytime soon.
