The IBM PC 5150 and XT - How IBM "Won" the Computer Wars of the 1980's - Kim Justice
🕑 Added 2016-10-22 11:42:52 +0000 UTC Computers don't get more influential than this one. IBM, a struggling giant by the late 70's, change their entire philosophy and create the IBM PC 5150. The microcomputer masters like Apple and RadioShack don't take their efforts wholly seriously, but the 5150 ends up changing the world forever. This is how IBM won the computer wars of the 1980's...sort of. Enjoy!

I'm watching Halt & Catch Fire at the moment. The writing is pretty wobbly but they tackle the computer stuff well. Anyway looking forward to watching this later.
