Well, the big products in electronics in the '50s were radio and television. The first big computers were just beginning to come in and represented the most logical market for us to work in.

The first calculators tended to sell for $400 or $500. Today, you can get a pretty good one for 4 or $5.

I'm sure there will continue to be exciting new products and major changes, but it looks as if the existing technology has a great deal of room to grow and prosper.

I think the varied backgrounds in the beginning were a plus. It took a while for people to understand what they were trying to do and get started, but it did provide for a lot of new ideas.

I'm doing a little consulting. I'm somewhat retired, still a director of a company or two.

There was a space program before there was integrated circuits.

I think I thought it would be important for electronics as we knew it then, but that was a much simpler business and electronics was mostly radio and television and the first computers.

You must know that I am made of death, from head to foot, and it is a corpse who loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!

Living a fruitful and purposeful life has eternal blessings

A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace.

People never know each other until they have eaten a certain amount of salt together.

There's so much in the 21st century that is stymied by bureaucracy and mediocrity and committee.

Not every problem is solvable, okay.

Here, for whatever reason, is the world. And here it stays. With me on it.

People go to restaurants for so many different reasons. To court a girl, to make some deal. Maybe to talk to some lawyer about how to get an alimony settlement better than they got last week.

Everything beautiful has its moment and then passes away.

There has to be policies about that, about what materials we use and so on.
