ENDICOTT, N.Y. --- This town in the hills of Upstate New York is best
known as the birthplace of IBM, one of the country's most iconic
companies. But there remain only hints of that storied past.
The main street, once swarming with International Business Machines
employees in their signature white shirts and dark suits, is dotted with
empty storefronts. During the 1980s, there were 10,000 IBM workers in
Endicott. Now, after years of layoffs and jobs shipped overseas, about
700 employees are left.
