What commenters are saying
Commenters mourned the loss of a fixture from the golden age of PC journalism. Many recalled his columns in Byte, InfoWorld, and PC Magazine, as well as his Cranky Geeks podcast and appearances on ZDTV/TechTV. A factual dispute emerged over his age: the announcement says 74, but Wikipedia and commenters argue he was 80, born in 1946. Dvorak reportedly spent years fighting Wikipedia's incorrect birth year. Some also corrected the common misconception that he was related to the Dvorak keyboard inventor, noting his uncle August Dvorak created it.
