Congratulations on 100 years, IBM

My first personal computer, albeit used, was a PS-1.  I bought it from the hospital I worked for at the time for a song, when they bought brand new ones.   I learned some Basic.  I downloaded some programs my friends had and new ones they wrote.  I really thought I was going somewhere in the computer industry.  Okay, that didn't happen, but I can work my way around one now, and I know own several computer devices, mostly Apple products, sorry IBM.  Still I thank you piquing my digital curiosity.  You helped to draw out my professional aspirations and provide me with the basis for my current use of computers, primarily the internet, ITunes, and movies, with a few spreadsheets and some Word docs thrown in.  Thank you.  Sorry about the whole Nazi thing during WWII.  I believe you when you say that evil wasn't what you had in mind.
