(Well worth seeing, by the way.) The "computer pioneer" exhibit was on Seymour Cray. Among various bits of interesting hardware, they had a few quotes from him up on the wall. I copied down the shorter ones: "There has never been a good product designed by a committee." "Keep a decade behind." "I am all for simplicity. If it's very complicated I can't understand it." -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
