About Me

Cap'n Intrepid is wacky (when he's not serious), and highly intelligent (when he's not dumb) and has an astounding talent of pointing out the painfully obvious.

    The Unthinkable Has Happened...
    If anyone told me two years ago that my free online email account will exceed my spare hard disk capacity, I would have laughed in their faces.

    Today:



    Yahoo email account. Almost 1 gb left.


    Laptop hard disk space.

    Come to think of it, even a CD has more free space than my laptop now... how miserable. Stupid computing quotes anyone?

    "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.' --Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943

    "But what ... is it good for?" --Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip

    "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."--Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

    "640K ought to be enough for anybody."--Bill Gates, 1981

    "I may have invented control-alt-delete, but Bill Gates made it really famous." -- David Bradley, one of the 'dirty dozen' engineers who created the original IBM PC

    Awww... IBM is just sore :)

    Nope. Yahoo mail. Gmail is at least 2gb. But it doesn't come with a slew of online services though...
