That paraphrased statement will be the forever lasting legacy of Ken Olsen - who, unlike Steve Jobs, failed to see the future of computing. And when Ken Olsen got into PCs - and built the marvelous DEC-350 - he mistakenly chose to use DEC's own Personal Operating System (POS), rather than MS-DOS. The DEC-350 was way ahead of its time - much better than any Apple of its day - but nobody wrote software for DEC's POS, so you had to do it all yourself. Ask me how I know that.
