Powerful Quotes by Duane Lites

• It took a long time for the PC revolution to really make sense because PCs were basically just a single way to access stuff. It didn’t have to grow beyond that to where it could be server-based and people could access it.
• Now everything is electronic, for the most part. Everybody thinks that that has simplified things but in a lot of ways it has complicated things because there are so many sources of data now and none of them are in the right format.
