It brought to mind a quote of his that actually makes me wonder why he didn't retire in 1980. "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." (Ken Olson, President, Digital Equipment, 1977) Perhaps this also explains the underwhelming presence of DEC in the current home computer market. :) Alan -- Selected by Maddi Haussman.
