I recall a presentation by IBM Executives all those years back about the 'New
Era of Computing' (or something corny like that). One presenter mentioned that
there were other PCs around, but the IBM one had three things going for it over
the others:
I
B
M
And the PCs of this world still haven't worked out how to upgrade the OS
without a restart....
Sigh.

Subject: Some Trivia: Happy Birthday IBM PC - You're 34 Today!
Happy Birthday, IBM Personal Computer, August 12, 1981, the announcement date
for the original from IBM Boca Raton, Florida, birthplace of PC DOS and
OS/2.
August 12 is also the birthday for MGM's release of "The Wizard of OZ"
(1939) and Edison's first phonograph in 1877 ("Mary had a little
lamb.").
