In the 1990s, as IBM's own PC division declined, Compaq faced other IBM PC Compatible manufacturers like Dell Computer, Packard Bell, AST Research, and Gateway 2000.

The inventor offered the product to IBM, which declined the offer.

In July 1984 — by which time PCjr sales had declined to only a few thousand a month — IBM replaced the chiclet keyboard for free with a different wireless model, an unusually generous act for the company and the industry.

After the dot-com crash, its revenues declined to $ 650M, but it was dominant, profitable, and cash-rich (~$ 600M ) when its founders chose to sell the company to IBM for $ 2. 1B.

IBM declined to re-implement the architecture in a more modern technology.

Although Kasparov wanted another rematch, IBM declined and ended their Deep Blue program.

Other key executives responsible for the company's meteoric growth in the late 80s and early 90s were Ross A. Cooley, another former IBM associate, who served for many years as SVP of GM North America ; Michael Swavely, who was the company's chief marketing officer in the early years, and eventually ran the North America organization, later passing along that responsibility to Mr. Cooley, when Swavely retired.

" Mac " McLoughlin ( another long time IBM executive ) led the company's field sales organization after starting up the Western U. S. Area of Operations.

RIM sells BlackBerry Enterprise Server to corporations so that corporate BlackBerry users can wirelessly synchronize their PDAs with the company's Microsoft Exchange Server, IBM Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise servers.

Thomas John Watson, Sr. ( February 17, 1874 – June 19, 1956 ) was the chairman and CEO of International Business Machines ( IBM ), who oversaw that company's growth into an international force from 1914 to 1956.

The document says no, but quotes his son and then IBM President Thomas J. Watson, Jr., at the annual IBM stockholders meeting, April 28, 1953, as speaking about the IBM 701 Electronic Data Processing Machine, which it identifies as " the company's first production computer designed for scientific calculations ".

Learning that IBM had introduced an industrial-sized photocopier, Bakshi asked one of the company's technical experts if he would be able to feed 35mm reels into the machine to produce enlarged copies of each frame.

But after the lawsuit was filed, IBM decided it would have two families: the System / 38 line, intended for large companies and representing IBM's future direction, and the System / 36 line, intended for small companies who had used the company's legacy System / 32 / 34 computers.

Coca-Cola's marketing research department used its IBM 1401 computer to generate a list of over 250, 000 four-letter words with one vowel, adding names suggested by the company's own staff ; the list was stripped of any words deemed unpronounceable or too similar to existing trademarks.

In 1969 he was appointed an IBM Fellow, the company's most prestigious technical honor, and a consultant to the director of research.

It continued to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary ( Cognos, an IBM company ) until January 1, 2009, when it was absorbed into IBM Infosphere product line under IBM Information Management Software brand within the company's Software Group.

The insurer found out about the security lapse on January 21 when IBM, which manages the company's IT infrastructure, informed Health Net it was unable to locate the missing server drives.

He was taken on plant inspections — his first memory of such a visit ( to the Dayton, Ohio factory ) was at the age of five — business tours to Europe and he made appearances at IBM Hundred Per Cent Club meetings ( annual gatherings for the company's elite sales representatives ), even before he was old enough to attend school.

In November 2008, IBM used the track " L ' Incertitude D ' Heisenberg " in a video about the company's history.

The company's difficulties, however, weren't caused by Akers alone, as some suggested that he was merely doing what he had been " programmed " to do by an outdated " IBM system ", while a complacent board of directors was also blamed.

The management coup was mounted by longtime IBM director Jim Burke, who organized secret meetings between Gerstner and Rizzo to examine the company's problems.

He also managed Intel's business with IBM Corporation, served as general manager of both the Peripheral Components Operation and the Folsom Microcomputer Division, where he was responsible for the company's chipset operations, and served as a technical assistant to then-Intel President Andrew Grove.

The company's first product, called simply Interlink, allowed IBM mainframes to be connected to VAX computers on a DECnet network.

Plagued by a series of missteps that drained the company's cash, including a failed attempt to develop an IBM compatible mainframe, and an optical disk product line, the company filed for Chapter 11 in 1984.

The company's products were included in the initial launch of the IBM Personal Computer, and it was acquired by Management Science America ( MSA ) in June 1981.

In the early 1970s IBM sought to mitigate these difficulties by introducing virtual memory ( which IBM called " virtual storage "), which allowed programs to request address spaces larger than physical memory.

While the target of this request were corporations such as Cisco, IBM, HP, and Red Hat ( which all sell operating systems containing OpenSSH but have not donated to its continued development before ), the Mozilla Foundation found that without OpenSSH, much of the work done by developers would be through insecure and unsafe methods and thus gave the funds as a thank you.

IBM has a machine that can understand spoken words and talk back.

The codes were key-punched into IBM punch cards and verified.

The cards were then processed using standard IBM punch card equipment, including an IBM 650 computer.

The initial setting of this table may be altered, however, as described in the 7070/7074 Data Processing System Bulletin `` IBM 7070/7074 Compiler System: Operating Procedure '', form Aj.

A full description of the DIOCS, DTF, and DUF statements is contained in the 7070 Data Processing System Bulletin `` IBM 7070 Input/Output Control System '', form Aj.

Primary user input was decimal, via standard IBM 80 column punched cards and output was decimal, via a front panel display.

* 1981 – The IBM Personal Computer is released.

However, poor marketing and failure to repeat the technological advances of the first systems meant that the Amiga quickly lost its market share to competing platforms, such as the fourth generation game consoles, Apple Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles.

It was also a less expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC as a general-purpose business or home computer.

AIX ( Advanced Interactive eXecutive, pronounced ) is a series of proprietary Unix operating systems developed and sold by IBM for several of its computer platforms.

Originally released for the IBM 6150 RISC workstation, AIX now supports or has supported a wide variety of hardware platforms, including the IBM RS / 6000 series and later IBM POWER and PowerPC-based systems, IBM System i, System / 370 mainframes, PS / 2 personal computers, and the Apple Network Server.

The AIX family of operating systems debuted in 1986, became the standard operating system for the RS / 6000 series on its launch in 1990, and is still actively developed by IBM.

It is currently supported on IBM Power Systems alongside IBM i and Linux.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

AIX Version 1, introduced in 1986 for the IBM 6150 RT workstation, was based on UNIX System V Releases 1 and 2.

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