Hi There Yoram
Thanks for the citation .. i have been looking for this for my thesis ..

and Michael G .. i think what you are looking for is in the following statement

”You can now see computers in the productivity statistics,” Mr. Solow said in an interview last week.

I have found this in a New York Times article in the following URL

http://www.nytimes.com/2000/03/12/business/economic-view-productivity-finally-shows-the-impact-of-computers.html

I hope this what u were looking for ..

Thank you so much Yoram.

May I give you another challenge ;)

I think I read that it is the same Robert Solow who, some years earlier, said a famous quote that goes something like “with more computers there will be more productivity.”

but I cannot find it on the web… maybe others have heard this quote, maybe it is not from him…

tks you again any way!
