Hrm...now what does that remind me of in the modern era..? :D

One of my favorite parts of watching the old 'Computer Chronicles' TV show ¨from the 80s/90s that's on YouTube is (especially in the 80s) how absolutely ¨*fixated* they are on IBM and what IBM thinks and what IBM is doing. Between ¨that and the constant apprehension when it came to the Japanese electronics ¨firms, it gives me some hope when I start to worry about Google, Apple, ¨Facebook, Tiktok, etc. This, too, shall pass.
