"Gates put Palmer and DEC out of business."
Gosh, I'm sure he didn't mean to. [laughter]
At the plant where we made the Alpha chip (where palmer was plant manager before being CEO) we kept hearing NT5.0 was just a few months away. Sadly palmer knew squat about software and he kept believing the BS. As he had been plant manager and I was a principle software engineer there, I can say, he was totally clueless about software. Hell the CIM manager was clueless.
