What did Bill Gates say about PC memory. 640Mb wil be all thats needed. Now I have 4Gb in my PC. Alot more than 640Mb is required to do the very basic of tasks.

Too say 400Gb Blu-ray won't be required, you could be going down the same path that Bill Gate's was on. And look how that turned out.

 

umm..i think that quote was sometime in the 1981 and it read "640K should be enough for anybody"

 

:)

 

"“No one will need more than 637 kb of memory for a personal computer. 640 kB ought to be enough for anybody"

(Bill Gates, Microsoft, 1981)

“There is no need for any individual to have a computer in their home.”

(Ken Olson, President of Digital Equipment Corp, in 1977)

"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."

(Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943)

Insights with regard to computing potential changed dramatically with the introduction of multi-tasking multimedia systems like the Amiga in 1985.

Other remarkably insighful tech quotes:

"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us."

(Western Union internal memo, 1876)

“Radio has no future.” [Lord Kelvin, 1897)

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."

(Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899)

“Well informed people know it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires and that were it possible to do so, the thing would be of no practical value.” (The Boston Post in 1865)

 

 

Well I could'nt remember the exact quote word for word. Was only using the quote to get my point across.

640k to 4Gb is a huge jump.
