I didn't like writing programs, and so, when I was working on the IBM 701, writing programs for computing missile trajectories, I started work on a programming system to make it easier to write programs.

Most versions of Principia Discordia actually spell it as καλλιχτι, but this is definitely incorrect ; in the afterword of the 1979 Loompanics edition of Principia, Gregory Hill says that was because on the IBM typewriter he used, not all Greek letters coincided with Latin ones, and he didn't know enough of the letters to spot the mistake.

The machine was primarily aimed at the home and educational markets, and it copied the IBM PCjr's 16-color graphics ( PCjr's graphics were an extension of CGA video ) and 3-voice sound, but didn't use the PCjr cartridge ports.

I didn't relate to Sharon Tate as being anything but a store mannequin ... sounded just like an IBM machine ... She kept begging and pleading and pleading and begging, and I got sick of listening to her, so I stabbed her.

At the time IBM didn't believe in the potential of Codd's ideas, leaving the implementation to a group of programmers not under Codd's supervision, who violated several fundamentals of Codd's relational model ; the result was Structured English QUEry Language or SEQUEL.

This didn't violate IBM copyrights.

Third party products existed for some areas, but customers then faced the prospect of having to prove which vendor was at fault if, say, a third party printer didn't work correctly with an IBM computer, and IBM's warranties and service agreements often stipulated that they would not support systems with non-IBM components attached.

We had lost a series of suits on this, and so we didn't want to have a product which was clearly someone else's product worked on by IBM people.

Wang made inroads into IBM and DEC markets in the 1980s, but didn't have a serious impact on IBM's mainframe market due to self-limiting factors.

However, the machine didn't yet exist, and after carefully documenting sales lost to the IBM project, Norris launched a massive lawsuit against them in 1968.

But the company had trouble convincing the 300, 000 S / 34 and S / 36 customers to migrate ; people who paid $ 20k for their S / 36 didn't want to pay $ 40k for the AS / 400 even though IBM did offer a very easy migration path that could be handled by the customer themselves.

But IBM didn't use it in IBM PC design and Intel stopped development of this type of coprocessor.

Until the early 1990s, IBM had a decision-making process called " non-concur " in which any department head could veto a company-wide strategy if it didn't fit in with his department's outlook.

Tom Jr. described the position of his father as " He wanted to make me head of IBM, but he didn't like sharing the limelight.

In April 2010, IBM published an announcement about the upcoming 7. 1 release.

Instead Kildall only threatened IBM with legal action, and IBM responded with a proposal to offer CP / M-86 as an option for the PC in return for a release of liability.

With the Z-machine, Infocom was able to release most of their games for most popular home computers of the day simultaneously — the Apple II family, Atari 800, IBM PC compatibles, Amstrad CPC / PCW ( one disc worked on both machines ), Commodore 64, Commodore Plus / 4, Commodore 128, Kaypro CP / M, Texas Instruments TI-99 / 4A, the Mac, Atari ST, the Commodore Amiga and the Radio Shack TRS-80.

At first IBM described MVS as simply a new release of OS / VS2, but it was, in fact a major rewrite.

" Warp " had originally been the internal IBM name for the release: IBM claimed that it had used Star Trek terms as internal names for past OS / 2 releases, and that this one seemed appropriate for external use as well.

Although IBM began indicating shortly after the release of Warp 4 that OS / 2 would eventually be withdrawn, the company did not end support until December 31, 2006.

There is a community of OS / 2 users and developers, along with loyal company customers, hoping that IBM will release OS / 2 or a significant part of it as open source.

The design made a clear distinction between architecture and implementation, allowing IBM to release a suite of compatible designs at different prices.

The 360's commercial release was piloted by another of Watson's lieutenants John R. Opel who managed the launch of IBM ’ s System 360 mainframe family in 1964.

IBM announced the delivery of the next release of TPF, dubbed z / TPF V1. 1, in September 2005.

Commercial Unix vendors, such as Sun, HP, DEC, and IBM each received copies of the vi source, and their operating systems, Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, and AIX, today continue to maintain versions of vi directly descended from the 3. 7 release, but with added features, such as adjustable key mappings, encryption, and wide character support.

But on the eve of Signature's release, IBM announced a strategic decision to withdraw completely from the desktop software market, shocking XyQuest and leaving Signature in limbo.

However, the November 2008 release of the TOP500 list places the Blue Gene / L supercomputer behind the Pleiades supercomputer in NASA / Ames Research Center, the Jaguar supercomputer in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the IBM Roadrunner supercomputer in Los Alamos National Laboratory.

IBM supports z / OS release coexistence and fallback on an " N + 2 " basis.

However, following its release, the IBM PC itself was widely imitated, as well as the term.

After the 1981 release by IBM of its IBM PC, the term personal computer became generally used for microcomputers compatible with the IBM PC architecture ( PC compatible ).

IBM introduced JFS with the initial release of AIX version 3. 1 in February, 1990.

IBM Lotus Sametime's November 2007 release added IBM Lotus Sametime Gateway support for XMPP.

In developing AIX, IBM and Interactive Systems Corporation ( whom IBM contracted ) also incorporated source code from 4. 2 and 4. 3 BSD UNIX.

In 2003, the SCO Group alleged that ( among other infractions ) IBM had misappropriated licensed source code from UNIX System V Release 4 for incorporation into AIX ; SCO subsequently withdrew IBM's license to develop and distribute AIX.

They are typically the employees of a DBMS vendor ( e. g., Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Sybase ), or, in the case of Open source DBMSs ( e. g., MySQL ), volunteers or people supported by interested companies and organizations.

Unlike with Windows 3. 1, IBM did not have access to the source code for Windows 95 and was unwilling to commit the time and resources to emulate the moving target of the Win32 API.

However, in the first part of the 21st century many of these same legacy system vendors, particularly IBM and Hewlett-Packard, began to adopt Linux as part of their overall sales strategy, with " open source " marketed as trumping " open system ".

The AS / 400 added source compatibility with the System / 36 combining the two primary computers manufactured by the IBM Rochester plant.

( The IBM PC used 14. 318182 MHz, divided by three, as its 4. 77 MHz clock source, using one crystal for two purposes.

IBM, which had previously acquired the primary commercial vendor of DFS and AFS, Transarc, donated most of the AFS source code to the free software community in 2000.

However, even now there are interoperability problems between the TrouSerS trusted software stack ( released as open source software by IBM ) and Hewlett-Packard's stack.

Note also the confusing term " System / 370-compatible ", which appeared in IBM source documents to describe certain products.

Soon after, Apple, as one of Motorola's largest customers of desktop-class microprocessors, asked Motorola to join the discussions because of their long relationship, their more extensive experience with manufacturing high-volume microprocessors than IBM, and to serve as a second source for the microprocessors.

IBM spawned an open source project called International Components for Unicode from part of this effort.

Xalan is a popular open source software library from the Apache Software Foundation, originally created by IBM under the name LotusXSL, that implements the XSLT 1. 0 XML transformation language and the XPath 1. 0 language.

See IBM Rational Method Composer and an open source version Eclipse Process Framework ( EPF ) project for more details.

SCO claimed that IBM had, without authorization, contributed SCO's intellectual property to the codebase of the open source, Unix-like Linux operating system.

The ruling also cast further doubt on SCO's claims that IBM and Linux infringe against any SCO source code, and upheld Novell's right to force SCO to waive its copyright claims against IBM and Sequent.
