Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

At our computer club, we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone, and give us power, and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff.

Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.

All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.

In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

But I know newspapers. They have the first amendment and they can tell any lie knowing it's a lie and they're protected if the person's famous or it's a company.

Your first projects aren't the greatest things in the world, and they may have no money value, they may go nowhere, but that is how you learn - you put so much effort into making something right if it is for yourself.

Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.

My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.

The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn't thought of before and that aren't talked about in the news all the time.

It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.

If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.
