The hell with IBM!!! I just heard on the news last night that they have been
accused of supplying the punch card equipment to the Nazis to keep track of how
many people they gassed!!!
Punch cards were used before more sophisticated storage media was developed. It
seems that IBM had a German division even during WW II. How many people on list
list had relatives that were killed (either as Americans fighting the bastards or
in the camps) during W.W.II
I'm sure it makes you feel good to know that some IBM punch card probably had
their name or number listed (the Nazis destroyed as much as they could-they were
insane record keepers-but just as insane about trying to destroy the evidence).
BLANK IBM!!!
