Reliquary of Technology: IBM-Compatible
Perhaps an approaching major birthday has me reflecting on the past. In recent days the antique phrase "IBM-compatible" stormed into my randomly accessed memory. It happened when I saw a magazine headline about Acer challenging Lenovo.
Lenovo is the Chinese company that bought IBM's personal computer business. So, I wondered, will anybody ever think in terms of "Lenovo-compatible" computers? I doubt it. Would the younger users of computers have even the vaguest idea of what IBM-compatible once meant in all its shades of meaning and techno-fury at Big Blue?
I feel old.
