And that was a brag.

Alexander Graham Bell could never fathom eveyone carrying one in their pocket. Especially women since he did not think they were capable of operating them.

To be fair, people aren't connected to their phones because of using the phone as a phone, it's because our phones are basically small laptops where we can do literally anything. If anything, it'd be Steve Apple who'd be rolling over in his grave.

If what you believe is truthful and just, you shouldn't have to posture as someone or something else.

If you're not getting promoted, it's not because you're not good at your job. It's because you're good at a ONLY your job.

A friend (CS professor) once told me that the Pentagon ran the entire 1991 Gulf War with less computing power than a modern smartphone.

The computer on Apollo 11 had...
32 KB RAM.
72 KB ROM.
A CPU @ 0.043 MHz.
To use it, you had to input numeric codes with a calculator-type interface.
When they tried to land on the moon, they got an error code caused by memory overflow. The computer couldnt handle all the data it got.

In regards to the Commodore 64.
Nintendo did the same sort of thing when the Genesis was announced.

By BILL GATES
c.1996 Bloomberg Business News

QUESTION: I read in a newspaper that in 1981 you said, ``640K of memory should
be enough for anybody.'' What did you mean when you said this?

ANSWER: I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No
one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is
enough for all time.
