"640K ought to be enough for anybody."
- Bill Gates, 1981.
You might think this lame prediction is the sole property of our modern
beloved billionaire, but in fact, the Gates ancestry is filled with
similar sayings. While Bill Gates has proved accurate in predicting the
past, perhaps he should leave looks at the future to others -- though as
this list shows, it certainly shouldn't be his kin.
