I was able to find this article instantly using Google by typing "Stewart Alsop Paul Davoust NeXT"
Paul is a friend since my Borland stint and was my business partner for years. At the time I was a NeXT machine owner, developer, and advocate. He always disagreed with my enthusiasm and told me about the bet you two had. He turned out to be right. _In the short term_ of your time-boxed bet.
Now, the world is dominated by NeXT software and hardware. I am as shocked and pleased as anyone at what happened 3 years after your mea culpa article.
Thanks to Google Books and the Internet Archive, your InfoWorld writings are findable., Stewart, albeit maybe with a few more clicks than usual. Fortune, I’m not sure abut.
As one who has been blocked on Twitter by AGM, I'd say his "hard guy" thing is bluster. Eh, lots of guys crumple if you challenge them, particularly the ones who make out like they're as hard as the world is hard. My bigger issue is the unseemly thirst: Not that many years ago he was on a television program as a Valley refugee/survivalist, with his country compound, because the balloon was going up. Chaos Monkeys, he told me, was modeled on Martin Amis' "Money," and he had depicted himself as John Self - if so, he sorely misunderstood that estimable novel. I wouldn't necessarily feel unsafe being managed by him, but I might get tired of having to listen.
