I was reading the latest ComputerWorld (Oct 29) and came across one of the best quotes I've seen in a while.

I'm not a huge fan of Grady Booch, but he has had quite the impact on IT. I just can't stand UML.

At any rate, there's an interview with him in this issue and at the end, he's asked what has surprised him most in the last decade.

He responded:

"I haven't seen any revolutions.Heck, I had my first email address in 1979. There was a printed document with everyone's email address [in the world]."

Man, oh man, that'd be a sweet piece of tech memorabilia to hang on the wall.

Does that make me a geek\:\-\)
