I would say, that in the annals of historically wrong
sayings in the computin world, that single phrase from
$teve ranks right up with IBM saying that there is
perhaps a worldwide need for 5 computers, and Gates
saying 640k should be enough for anybody.
It made me say "huh?" and "whoa"...but not a *good*
"whoa...", more like a "whoa...what an idiot!"
