“If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside. ”
Robert Cringely

“Many companies worked hard at going cheap on IT, and they eventually took a beating for it. Names like Sears, Sprint, BestBuy, and, more recently, Target, come to mind.”
Robert Cringely, The Decline and Fall of IBM: End of an American Icon?

“Since its founding in 1911 up until 1993, IBM had never laid off a single employee. Akers needed to, but somehow couldn’t bring himself to do it. The company needed a hatchet man and John Akers was no hatchet man.”
Robert Cringely, The Decline and Fall of IBM: End of an American Icon?
