Larry Ellison
Right now, 70 percent of the people don't have computers. And where they're needed most, people don't have them. We think this will enable anyone to own a computer. We're aiming at everybody who uses a computer as an information access device. The original idea was to build one cheaply enough to put one on every desk.
Larry Ellison
A corporation's primary goal is to make money. Government's primary role is to take a big chunk of that money and give it to others.
