Quote of the Day:
I went to my first computer conference at the New York
Hilton about 20 years ago. When somebody there predicted the
market for microprocessors would eventually be in the millions,
someone else said, "Where are they all going to go? It's not
like you need a computer in every doorknob!" Years later, I went
back to the same hotel. I noticed the room keys had been
replaced by electronic cards you slide into slots in the doors.
There was a computer in every doorknob.

more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
