Ken Olson - visionary

(topical, smirk, true, computers)

I recently read somewhere that Ken Olson retired as president of DEC.  It
brought to mind a quote of his that actually makes me wonder why he didn't
retire in 1980.  

	"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their
	 home."  (Ken Olson, President, Digital Equipment, 1977)

Perhaps this also explains the underwhelming presence of DEC in the current
home computer market. :)
