Most of what I know him for was coming on TWiT, driving Leo Laporte nuts, and making claims that ended up not coming true.

He was a hilarious curmudgeon. He will be missed.

Curmudgeon is the perfect term to describe.

He was a great part of TWIT. I liked his obscure software references (lotus Jazz was one I think).

He also found this new thing is like that old thing.

His non positive takes were a great addition to the show.

When Leo banned him is actually when I stopped listening to TWiT. Apparently he came back a few years later, but I never did.

Leo has TDS but Leo is also a treasure. I still love listening to both.

Apparently Dvorak was against net neutrality. He had the worst takes

The tech world needs good heels! His worst takes were some of his best!

He pulled one apart and couldnt put it back together for the rest of the episode :-)

He was a very readable columnist for PC Mag among other places. He was also more focused on being interesting and at least a bit provocative than being correct.

>He was a hilarious curmudgeon.

Agreed.

So exactly like everyone today, but also interesting?

He set the style of being confidently incorrect. At least he was entertaining.

He would make a great AI!

Probably. With some exceptions, he wasn't flat out wrong. But he did push the boundaries from time to time.
