In 1984 people didn't knew if they wanted or didn't want to use a mouse. Most people didn't even used PCs, much less the extremely expensive machines that had a real GUI and some software to try it out.

But it's the job of a journalist, specifically a columnist, to be above the average Joe.

Dvorak is a cranky opinion columnist. He always has been. That's his schtick, and he's never tried to hide that.

So now you're excusing his behavior because it's "expected"? Maybe now is the moment we stop giving him the time of day.

I like him and find his columns entertaining, and always have. I'm not like, picking stocks based on them.

So the fact that he's peddling basic fear mongering doesn't put you off in any way?
