Quotes About Computers

Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months. -Clifford Stoll


Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. -Joseph Campbell


Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all. -John F. Kennedy (ok, not really about computers, but still pretty good)

Industry executives and analysts often mistakenly talk about strategy as if it were some kind of chess match. But in chess, you have just two opponents, each with identical resources, and with luck playing a minimal role. The real world is much more like a poker game, with multiple players trying to make the best of whatever hand fortune has dealt them. In our industry, Bill Gates owns the table until someone proves otherwise. -David Moschella
