"Microsoft has a new version out, Windows XP, which according to everybody is the ‘most reliable Windows ever.‘ To me, this is like saying that asparagus is ‘the most articulate vegetable ever."

"The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible. Universes of virtually unlimited complexity can be created in the form of computer programs."

"Microsoft is now talking about the digital nervous system... I guess I would be nervous if my system was built on their technology too."

"There’s an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone."

"Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Computers are from hell."

"Beware of computer programmers that carry screwdrivers."

"If we believe in data structures, we must believe in independent (hence simultaneous) processing. For why else would we collect items within a structure? Why do we tolerate languages that give us the one without the other?"

"In seeking the unattainable, simplicity only gets in the way."

"We are now able to see things in nature of what was previously only available in computer simulation."

"Technology has the shelf life of a banana."
