i dont remember where i read it, but i distinctly remember somewhere that he said something like "don't use any object oriented stuff, its too slow" to which his subordinates went and did it anyways... kinda like the floppy disk in the mac, devs did the right thing in the end even if he originally didn't want it

if thats wrong i'd love to be corrected though!

It is impossible to prove that someone did not say a particular thing so I don't think anyone can correct you.

The only thing that can happen is if someone can find the quote and confirm your memory.
