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.
