“640K ought to be enough for anybody.” - Bill Gates?

This quote exists on the internet and people like to point out how little foresight Mr. Gates had in that situation. However, according to everything2.org/?node_id=91182, Bill refuted this quote in a January, 19, 1996 article in the New York Times saying “I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that.” The article on the everything2.org website ends by quoting Mr. Gates “Meanwhile, I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again." It is a great article about the importance of citing sources and providing proof for your statements. The ironic part is that searching nytimes.com for any of these quotes comes up void. That’s right, it’s entirely possible that Bill Gates never said that he never said that quote about 640K.
