My favorite: Interviewer: DID [institutional model / one or two runs a day] PUT MANY PEOPLE OFF COMPUTING? Kay: I don't think so. I think you, you know the happiness is the how much expectations you know, the reality exceeds expectations.

Or about 5 minutes in: 'So for instance, John McCarthy, who is a professor at MIT both wrote memos suggesting we should time-share the computer, and he also thought more into the future that we'd be all networked together, and there would be these huge information utilities it would be like our power and lighting utilities that would give us the entire wealth of the knowledge of man, and he suggested on that what we'd have to have is something like an intelligent agent. An entity not maybe as smart as us, but an expert in finding things, and we would have to give it advice. He called it the "advice-taker."' Of course the interviewer brought the interview back on track with the next question ;-)
