He does seem opinionated; he does know a lot of people who give him special treatment; and he is fanatically devoted to cp/m. Beyond the above he writes a good column, which I think is getting unfairly dumped on. He just sees things from a different perspective. If one isn't attached to un*x and c, then pascal-like things probably look pretty good. I often disagree with what he writes, but just because someone has different ideas than you do doesn't make him stupid or ill-informed.
