I.B.M. Said to Put Its PC Business on the Market:
I.B.M., whose first PC moved personal computing into the consumer mainstream, has put the business up for sale.
I heard a piece on NPR today about IBM’s sale of their PC hardware business and how they brought out the first personal computer . . . eh? Even discounting the Altair (most people do), the Apple I and Apple II were on the market before the PC: Apple took out an ad in the business press to remind people that IBM wasn’t first to market.
And locating a copy it was this hard. <sigh>
Now playing: Must Be Santa (Polka) by Brave Combo from the album “Must Be Santa! The Rounder Christmas Album”
