IBM giant passes away

Louis Gerstner, who took over International Business Machines (IBM) when it was on its deathbed and resuscitated it as a technology industry leader, died Saturday. He was 83.

IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna announced Gerstner’s death in an email sent Sunday to its employees, but didn’t provide a cause of death.

Haven't heard that name in decades...

IBM never intended the PC to be a gaming machine. This is why all the money we poured into graphics cards and the like was a waste if they were only intended for gaming and not work purposes.

Consoles were intended to be gaming machines and they provide far more real joy without the expense and issues.

Reminds me of the loss of a former IBM forum member a couple years back. RIP.
