  Imagine that Cray computer decides to make a personal computer.  It has
  a 150 MHz processor, 200 megabytes of RAM, 1500 megabytes of disk	
  storage, a screen resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels, relies entirely on
  voice recognition for input, fits in your shirt pocket and costs $300.
  What's the first question that the computer community asks?
  "Is it PC compatible?" - a clip from fortune

This joke first appeared in the Usenet newsgroup net.arch in 1984.
We still don't have the voice recognition. 8^)
