I mean, that was back when if you wanted a home computer, you were building it yourself from parts from Radio Shack. Not exactly the same thing. I’m not certain that even Apple had the Apple 1 out at that point. I know they hadn’t made the Mac 128k, and weren’t going to for several years.

I haven’t ever met anyone that thought Bill Gates was prescient, just a lucky businessman.

The joke being that he didn’t actually say it, same as Microsoft never stating 10 being the last version of Windows ever
