DVORAK'S CRYSTAL BALL: Shedding light on today...
shredding assumptions about tomorrow

Berkeley, CA -- Never one to be shy about his opinions about anything, John
C. Dvorak tells it as he sees it in his new book, Dvorak Predicts: An
Insider's Look at the Computer Industry, recently published by
Osborne/McGraw-Hill.

Sure to be provocative, controversial, and enlightening, Dvorak Predicts
makes some outrageous prophecies about the multi-billion dollar computer
industry's future, but backs those assertions up with convincing analysis
and inside market intelligence. No company or product is safe from
Dvorak's incisive insights about what's hot and what's not.

Some predictions and observations made by Dvorak involve: 
* The death of the desktop computer 
* The new Apple 
* The demise of Microsoft 
* The Pentium, the future, and the everyday computer user
* Multimedia--the "Edsel of Computing" 
* Big Brother and Little Brother: who will be watching whom?
* Voice recognition technology

Moving beyond the immediate realm of software and hardware, Dvorak
discusses the personalities of the industry's major players, work force
strengths and weaknesses, and some dark horse developments that could
change everything overnight.

Love him or hate him, but don't dare ignore him, Dvorak shines in this tome
about the industry we can't live without. Dvorak Predicts is an
entertaining, illuminating read about the computer industry and how its
successes and failures will affect our lives now and in the future.
