He is not what I would consider a reliable source of technical information about computers. His columns usually consist of gossip and unsupported personal opinion. What he writes can be interesting but I like to see facts once in a while, too. I've read exactly one good column of his -- it was about computer book PUBLISHING rather than about computers or software. He looks to me like a talented individual who spends too much time out of his league, but is respected for it anyway. This is common in the 'popular' computer media these days, I guess. Rick.
