ever saw his REAL coloumns? it says there he's the Real original Bob
Cringely. it's a pseudonym he got (or picked by himself?) in his early
writing days after he left Apple since he didn't want to be recognized (he
tells too many insider stories to let SV companies feel secure). but when
he left his old post, someone else apperently took over the name, due to
an editorial decision I understand, even though he already wrote a book
under that pseudonym and all... the one TRUE Cringe is the one on PBS,
anyway...
