I have that as a quote from IBM.

Here is my favorite quote (re: computers):

There is no reason for any individual
to have a computer in their home
-Ken Olsen, President, Digital Equipment,
Convention of the World Future Society, 1977

This happened to be the year that I bought my
first Data General Nova 1200 - at $5,000 - which
would be about $50,000 in today's money!

Other than W6FFC, I don't believe that anyone else
had a computer in their shack.

Here are a couple more quotes that I have as .sigs.

(I kinda "have it in" for The New York Times, which at one
time honored their slogan "All The News That's Fit To Print"
but now, well, I'll leave any comments up to you...


Professor Goddard does not know the relation between
action and reaction and the need to have something
better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems
to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high
schools.             -New York Times editorial, 1921


The flying machine which will really fly might be
evolved by the combined and continuous efforts of
mathematicians and mechanicians in from one million
to ten million years. -New York Times, October 9, 1903
(the same day that the Wright brothers began assembly)
