About the Book

IBM is the oldest commercial computer company in the world. Its roots spring from the merger of The International Time Recording Company Computing Scale Company, and the Tabulating Machine Company in the 19th century. The merged company became known as International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924. IBM has coined many terms such as word processing, teleprocessing, and eBusiness over its 100 years of operation. The company has also done the background work for many computer sub-industries, such as disk, tape, data communications, personal computer, relational database, RISC processing, microchips, mainframes, and of course the IBM PC & others. IBM continues to be the leader in mainframe computers and cloud computing, though at one time it dominated all areas of computing. Over the years, IBM's concentration on mainframes permitted billionaires to be created in sub- industries, in which IBM unwittingly chose not to compete. For example, Bill Gates, who supplied just two software products for IBM's 1981 PC is now the richest man in the world. IBM could have been a much more successful company if it had paid attention to its many different businesses. Since IBM did not pay attention, there are tens of thousands of extra millionaires & billionaires in the computer field, who one day should stop and thank IBM for their success. That's what this book is about! Just say: Thank You IBM!
