Following up on my own post again. Arghhh.

So after I post this little tidbit from memory, I do some actual
research and discover two things.
First, his name is Ken OLSEN.
Second, the quote was originally taken somewhat out of context. Olsen
claims that he was referring to an all-controlling, all-knowing,
recipe-planning monster machine. He wasn't really objecting to the use
of computers in the home, for he and his family were already doing so.
