Computers shouldn't be unusable. You don't need to know how to work a telephone switch to make a phone call, or how to use the Hoover Dam to take a shower, or how to work a nuclear-power plant to turn on the lights.

We think computing ought to be like a telephone or a water tap or a light switch.

The only thing I'd rather own than Windows is English. Then I'd be able to charge you an upgrade fee every time I add new letters like N and T.

I can't figure the stock market out. I think it's wacky. I have done well with a long-term strategy and will continue being a long-term investor.
