Ok, getting really off topic, but the IBM PC came after Microsoft
determined it was a useful personal device on its own. Orignally, IBM
considered it as a data entry machine, to be used only with mainframes.
They had another name for it which I can't remember. It was only after
they saw how successful Microsoft was becoming selling DOS for these
machines that they changed their tune.

There I agree 100%. There's a reason that IBM, Remington Rand, and
Burroughs weren't the ones who developed the first practical personal
computers.
You mean, like the IBM PC? :-)
