I use a really simple calendar program on my computer.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.

It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.

Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.

If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.

What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.

In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.

I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.

I love my little Mac G4 computer and we just had Internet installed on the bus... we all have little Macs actually, there's four of us on the bus, and we all just sit there and surf the Internet!

I compose my own stuff. I've been writing songs with words. I've been playing more on the keyboard because I can transpose it to sheet music on the computer.

I am severely distracted these days. It's hard to sit in front of the computer, uploading bad music for hours, when you have a wonderful boyfriend who treats you like a Goddess.

There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.

In 1975 I met Alison Brown and in 1982 we were married. She works for Cornell Computer Services.

While at Cal Tech I talked a lot with Jon Mathews, then a junior faculty member; he taught me how to use the Institute's computer; we also went on hikes together.

I should prefer to have a politician who regularly went to a massage parlour than one who promised a laptop computer for every teacher.
