Khris, Re: "Gee, and there was somebody telling Thomas Watson that nobody should ever need a computer,
too."
Wasn't it Watson Sr. himself, back in the forties, when the first computers were made, when asked how many the world might need, didn't he say "about five"?
Also, DEC Robert Palmer's predecessor and DEC founder Olson: "why would anyone ever need more than 32K of memory?"
Mainframes have been around a lot longer than PC's. Demand for MIPS in them was, is and will in the future be, insatiable. The same will be true for PC's, workstations, servers and as Paul Engel calls it "Big Silicon".
