Nice one ;-)
saw this sig on Usenet with a quote from Bill Gates saying something
like "There is no Windoze user who doesn't like their PC. Everybody
likes Windoze." or something like that. Apparently he really said that
in some interview.
In another sig, I have seen Ken Olson's (DEC founder) famous words of
1978 or so "There is no reason why anybody would want to have a computer
in their home".
