But in 20/20 hindsight, IBM rilly looks Baad.. that they did so little research as to miss totally the appeal of, "your own computer". I suppose it followed from that first egregious error:

After interest was clear - to fail also to recognize their 'consumer level' utter ignorance - failure to hire some smarts. (Imagine a PS/2 lock-in might have flown!) But we *all* lost when they failed to hire some marketers to demonstrate OS/2 superiority.. spend real $ to entice some (more) programmers to write decent native aps. Ridicule Billy for his.. er ridicule-able persona (just for comic relief for us all).

Who coulda thunk.. what utter assholes would prevail (!)

(Almost as unthinkable as -?- a Muslim / Xian Holy War 1st thing in a new century)
