One's infamous, the other I just heard today. Both somewhat funny what with the current state of computing:

"Computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weigh 1 1/2 tons."
Popular Mechanics, 1949

"640k ought to be enough for anybody."
Bill Gates, 1981

LAN parties would be a bit difficult with the first one, eh?
