IBM paid the price in the old days by locking out 3rd party with proprietary designs

In 1986 our school bought new computers.

I helped unpack and set them up.

They were IBM stamped Made in China.

8088's

then $1000 clones took over

and IBM tried to lockout with a new II - didn't work

my Lenovo's come from China and are super powered at 1/2 cost of Apples

power, small size, value proposition rule

IBM sold their PC business to Lenovo. End of 2021 IBM still had over 282 000 employees, which is a bit better than Kodak's 4500.
