'No one will need more than 637Kb of memory for a personal computer' - Bill Gates, 1981.

Actually Bill Gates has gone on record saying he never said that quote. What's strange is that it's all over the Internet but it can never be attributed to a speech or interview he did.


 And even if he DID say it, with the appropriate coding, he'd be right. 


Well he NEVER said it so why try to imply that he did.  What I find truly sad is that there are so many people out there trying to bring the man down when they themselves have done nothing compared to him.  I mean I see where people say he was in the right place at the right time, well there are many right places and right times out there right now yet I don't see them doing what he did.

Hell the guy worked his ass off when Microsoft started, he literally went through every piece of code before it was released and made improvements to any parts that he could.  It's not like he just showed up to collect checks or anything he actually worked for it.
