Cringe gets Aussie press
April 30th, 2004 by mhjones
Suddenly, from left-field comes this Sydney Morning Herald interview with Mark Stevens, aka Robert X Cringely. I can’t see a news hook, or any kind of spin that brought this email interview to light. Strange. Perhaps the SMH have just discovered that, gasp, the man who would be Cringe is still drawing a crowd. And good luck to him too.
Disclosure: I’m a former InfoWorld-er who was “close” to the original (and “real”, imho) Cringe column during my happy tenure at the publication over the last three years. It’s worth noting that InfoWorld’s Cringe column is also alive and well, something that the SMH did not clarify. In fact, it’s still syndicated in IDG publications around the world.
