The World Motivation
GIS started on mainframe computers; we could get one map every five to 10 hours, and if we made a mistake, it could take longer. In the early '90s, when people started buying PCs, we migrated to desktop software.

I am not that good a manager for me to be comfortable borrowing someone else's money.
On the landscape crew, I learned a lot from the other workers. We treated everybody equally, and we worked hard.
I am hunting for people who would be a good colleague or a teammate, not someone who works for me.
I want to have all that scientific information that we're building be used in designing the future so that people who make geographic decisions - and here it's not just land-use planners, but it's everyone: foresters, transportation engineers, people who buy a house - can analyze all of these information layers and design a future.
I was writing my Ph.D. in the late 1980s and was keeping an eye on what was happening in the world. It became obvious to me that Russia couldn't live without computers. I think I worked this out a year before anyone else. I started looking for people who could help import them.
I didn't want there to be a computer on stage. When I see people with computers on stage, I think, 'Are you sending e-mail?' That's so corny.
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who's going to build.
In computing, turning the obvious into the useful is a living definition of the word 'frustration'.
