Had the article not been posted yesterday, I would have thought the last
paragraph been a joke. Or may be it is anyway.
IBM grew up out of a company founded by former U.S. Census bureau
employee Herman Hollerith, who developed punch-card tabulation machines
to automate counting of the 1890 census. The
Computer-Tabulating-Recording Co was renamed IBM [International Business
Machines] in 1924.
