Our world only allowed one thirteen-year-old unlimited access to a time sharing terminal in 1968. If a million teenagers had been given the same opportunity, how many more Microsofts would we have today?”
“At NBC I wasn't really sure if the grandparents were going to get my sense of humor on a particular topic.”
