This is for anyone who doesn't have javascript.
"640K ought to be enough for anybody."
"If you can't make it good, at least make it look good."
"Microsoft programs are generally bug-free."
"There isn't anything we won't say to people to try and convince them that
our way is the way to go."
"If you can't make it good, at least make it look good."

time."
"There's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft."
"I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out
listings of their operating system."
"If you don't know what you need Windows NT for, you don't need it."
"If you visit the Microsoft hotline, you'll literally have to wait weeks if
not months until someone calls in with a bug in one of our programs."
"I\'m deeply disappointed that this has gone to litigation."
"The reasons for updates are to present more new features."
"It's in defense of the right to innovate on behalf of consumers that
Microsoft made the painful decision to endure a lawsuit."

"The error messages you get from the PC are pretty darn cryptic."
"You know, when I was a student, everybody, you know, had typewriters and

create."
