Van's Hardware Journal: Home
Description
This is a response to John C. Dvorak's latest "Inside Track", where he takes a number of pot shots at our now defunct Van's Hardware in general and the BAPCo SysMark 2002 article here in particular. Mr. Dvorak's article appears in the October 15th issue of PC Magazine.
Unfortunately, Mr. Dvorak did not research his article well. In it he claims that John Markoff of the New York Times states that no one has been able to get any details regarding what threats were made to us that influenced our decision to close down our site.
Mr. Markoff never asked me specifically about our site, but did inquire specifically about the BAPCo SysMark controversy. Mr. Markoff also later contacted me regarding Intel Itanium performance characteristics. I am sure if Mr. Dvorak had taken the time to question Mr. Markoff scrupulously, he would have avoided his embarrassing mischaracterisation of a fellow journalist.
