In my opinion, Joel has a very strong bias toward Microsoft related stuff. I find it hard to believe that he "misunderstood" so badly that he misquoted something so out in left field and in favor of Microsoft. His continued comments about iPods and not being able to replace the batteries are at least sloppy and at the worst anti-Apple (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html).
I am quite sure many people have emailed him to let him know about it, but I am pretty sure he just writes whatever he wants and thinks his audience will buy it. -Cameron On 8/3/05, Charlie Griefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/AardvarkMidtermReport.html > > skip down to 'The Conference' > > "For some reason, a long long time ago, I had agreed to give the > keynote speech for CFUNITED, a conference about ColdFusion. > > "I never used ColdFusion!"
