"Our style then was pretty much the same as today. We took the problem and broke it down into little, manageable, digestible pieces."
"Start with a small piece; fulfill one goal at a time, on time. Do it with all things in life. Sit down and learn to read one-syllable words. If you try to read Chaucer in elementary school, you'll never accomplish anything. You can't jumpto the end game right away, in computers, politics, love, or any other aspect of life."
"We had picked just the right project. It was big enough to be useful, small enough to be possible."
