Billy G & 640k | |

Thanks GhostRider: Denying he ever said "640K should be enough for anyone," Bill Gates wrote me recently as follows. This is one of those "quotes" that won't seem to go away. I've explained that it's wrong when it's come up every few years, including in a newspaper column and in interviews.There is a lot of irony to this one. Lou Eggebrecht (who really designed the IBM PC original hardware) and I wanted to convince IBM to have a 32-bit address space, but the 68000 [a Motorola-designed processing chip, eventually used in the Apple Macintosh] just wasn't ready. Lew had an early prototype but it would have delayed things at least a year. | ||
