I remember clearly when Gates had stated that "640K ought to be enough for anybody."
Fooled me once.
...but we made it be enough. Tweaking the shit until it worked. I hated it.
Bill Gates never said that.
Everyone knows he did.

True. He said he thought nobody would even need 640k!

Perhaps read the article you found. He thought 640k would be sufficient for 10 years, but in fact it was only enough for 6.
