Why is that? But, yes, nobody knows what will happen in the future. Who predicted the internet boom, etc? IBM had made some statement yrs prior that the world only needs about 5 computers.
But, regardless, it is always the best course of action to live below one's means than on the cusp.

Skip down toward the bottom of the Thomas J. Watson entry on wikipedia for some commentary on that. Evidently a simlar matter is addressed on some IBM FAQ's, so the story has been floating around for a while.

A president of DEC (Ken Ollsen?) is also sometimes quoted as saying that he didn't see why anyone would want a computer in their home. Should I google that one?
