Every once in a while an issue comes up where I have to make a statement. I can't totally avoid all political issues, but I try my best to minimize them. When I do make a statement, I try to be fairly neutral.

I can't say that I like MicroSoft: I think they make rather bad operating systems - Windows NT is just more of the same - but while I dislike their operating systems and abhor their tactics in the marketplace I at the same time don't really care all that much about them.

I think one thing I do pretty well is not taking myself too seriously.

Only wimps use tape backup. Real men just upload their important stuff on ftp and let the rest of the world mirror it.

Turtles are very stable and have been around forever. But they have problems adapting. When humans came along, turtles came under serious threat. Biodiversity is good, and I think it is good in technology as well.

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people.

In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.
