Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.

So give me a turbulent world as opposed to a quiet world and I'll take the turbulent one.

E-Commerce is happening the way all the hype said it would. Internet deployment is happening. Broadband is happening. Everything we ever said about the Internet is happening. And it is very, very early. We can't even glimpse it's potential in changing the way people work and live.

The Internet doesn't change everything. It doesn't change supply and demand. It doesn't magically allow you to build businesses by turning investors' money into operating expenses indefinitely. The money always runs out eventually.. the Internet doesn't change that, as we have seen.

The future is going to take care of itself, like it always has.

I was glad I liked chemistry.

I don't see Merced appearing on a mainstream desktop inside of a decade.
