	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Questionable Quotes (Ken Olsen)
		Part of the reason for Digital's downfall is often blamed on Olsen's failure to anticipate or understand the burgeoning personal computer market, a failure supposedly exemplified by his having disparaged the PC as something no individual needed to have in his home.
		What was missing, however, was context: repetitions of a single sentence from Olsen's talk are misleading because they don't convey that he used "computer in his home" in a very different sense than we would now use it.
		What Olsen [was focusing on was] that in the 1950s and 1960s there existed the notion that the computer not only could but would control all aspects of our lives.

		Olsen's reluctance to push customers (or family members) toward newer and faster computers is one big reason he's no longer running Digital, the company he guided for 35 years to global sales as high as $14 billion.

		Olsen believes companies are open to the idea of putting more discipline in their computing systems and Modular is positioned to offer it.

		Ken Olsen was its leader from start-up until 1992 when he resigned suddenly, some saying he was forced out.
		Residing in Lincoln, Massachusetts for 34 years within about a mile of Ken Olsen’s home in that town, I was a local during the period that spanned nearly the entire time within which DEC was born, matured, and was sold.
		Ken Olsen is and has been a highly principled person, a leader with clear respect for those who worked at DEC, respect for customers, respect for the communities in which DEC lived, and respect for the technology that so enamored Olsen.

	Ken Olsen transcript
		Ken, I know you were still with Digital or I believe you were still with Digital when the Alpha processors was announced.
		One of the things that you mentioned got me thinking, Ken. You mentioned how everybody seems to be going in Microsoft's direction.
		It seems like a lot of large companies have kind of fallen in lock step with Microsoft's direction and I am just wondering what you think the impact of that is on the computer market, whether that is actually stifling innovation.

		If anyone here is interested in debating this point, please indulge me. To start off, I decided to include this piece of writing from Ken Olsen, and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, or DEC as it is better known, in the late 1950s.
		I would suggest that the definition of a personal computer is not price, not size or weight, or even Bill Gates' software, but that the early MIT adn DEC computers were personal computers and were the early steps in the development of hardware and software.

		Ken Olson and Harlan Anderson, two young engineers from MIT, with financial aid from Georges Doriot, founded Digital Equipment Corporation in 1957.
		Yet, today (1988), Olsen is still firmly in charge, head of a corporation with 120, 000 employees that is recognized as IBM's most serious competitor.
		It is also a scrupulously impartial portrait of Olsen - a man who emerges as a contradictory mixture of Sunday school moralist and demanding competitor.
