<p>[quote user="Phoebe Vet"]</p> <p><span style="color:#800000;">It has been my experience that people who claim to speak for everyone usually are actually speaking for a small but vocal minority. The conservative resistance to change is usually overwritten by history.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home."<br /> Ken Olsen, co-founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977</strong> </span></p> <p><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>"I have travelled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people, and I can assure you that data processing is a fad that won't last out the year." <br />Editor in charge of business books, Prentice Hall, 1957 </strong></span>[/quote]</p> <p>And what did the Tom Watson's (IBM) or the Steve Jobs or Bill Gates of the world have to say about the computer technology? Are we to assume that you performed an exhaustive research of what other knowledgeable persons said? Or have you just cherry picked a few quotes to buttress whatever argument you are making? And in effect did what you just accused the original poster of doing.</p>
