"Steve's problem is his blind spots: It's what we at Apple called the
Steven Paul Jobs reality distortion field."
Quote by Jean-Louis
Gassee, April 1991
"It is no longer possible for any person, even our 'architects',
to understand everything that is going on. Networking, processors, linguistics,
multimedia, development tools, and user interfaces are just a subset
of the technologies that will affect Microsoft. My role is to understand
enough to set direction."
Quote by
Bill Gates [PDF], May 1991
"Indeed, IBM's own PC business was an important turnaround story in

and the primary platform for application development is over. In all
those respects, it has been supplanted by the network."
Quote by Louis V. Gerstner,
March 1999
