He Never Said It

This is probably one of the least urgent matters that still manages to trouble me...

There is a quotation attributed to Bill Gates that goes something like, "I can't imagine why anyone would ever need more than 640 k of memory."  I don't know where this quote originated.  I do know that I first saw it in the late 1980's, at a time when 640 k was about all most computers had.
