Technology companies should be run by technical people.
The "Andy" TRS-80? That's some great editing and accuracy checking right there. 🤨
In 1985 i had savede a lot of monny. I wanted a ibm pc. In Denmark there was 3 ibm shops. I went inside. A guy came in a suit. Ask me what i wanted. I was looking to buy a pc. But I could not get a demo. I could call the shop In copenhagen an buy one there. I got a colone... better and cheaper. Years after, i was working In a news paper as an it chef. With a big budget. We was looking for upgrading the server farm... 50 units. And 700 pc'es.. An ibm was knoking on the door.. looking forward to make a deal. Well we went with another company
26:16 The IBM ThinkPad was released in October 1992, not October 1991.
I’d buy an IBM PC if available today.
As former IBM employee who saw much of this from 1987 to early 2000 (first as part of the 'PC company', later as part of the personal software products division, then for a while being solution architect for finance and government customers), this was fun and interesting to watch.
Technically, I could say a few things about the OS/2 and WIndows story, as that is quite a bit more complex than presented here, somewhat understandable as it is more of a footnote in the PC history, and the end result is the same, in the desktop market it failed. Curiously, it is still being maintained, and you can still buy it. It has some (declining) use still in ATMs and similar devices.
Anyway, nice video, quite a bit of a story to tell in 31 minutes, but imo you did touch on the most important parts.
I have no love for Akers, I did at the time understand his line of thought, but didn't agree with it. Gerstner was like a breeze of fresh air, inspiring person, had the privilege to meet him a few times. But, he wasn't perfect, and like those before him, did not understand the PC market.
The Thinkpad was somewhat of a happy accident, somehow the development of the laptop (L40sx, CL57sx) and notebook (n33) machines managed to escape the bureaucracy, and while those 3 are all flawed in their own way (and laptop technology still being in its infancy), they provided the experience needed for the first Thinkpad models. For IBM standards, that went really really fast.
Yes, OS/2 was the best operating system of its time. Much better than Windows 3/95/98/2000. So it really kept up with its slogan: "a Windows better than Windows and a DOS better then DOS" (OS/2 could run Windows 3 and DOS programs). I used it for many years and really didn't understand why people struggle with Windows when there's such a good alternative.
my first pc was IBM Netvista with p4 128sd ram and ide hard drive 40gb, comes with inbuilt Modem and Nvidia Vanta16 video card..
12:14 everything is still making this mistake
Very good and professionally made video. I expected to see hundreds of thousands of views/subscribers. So I subscribed to help to achieve these numbers :-)

when i see suit and tie, i see money hungry people
The ENTIRE video needs to understand the world is bigger than USA... AMAZING achievements as documented here but all founded on more fundamental achievements.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing
So go make a video that does exactly that. What are you waiting for?
Yes, the world is bigger. But all the countries ended up with cloning the American computers. I was born in the USSR, and even this big country started to copy IBM mainframes in the late 1960s, and later the other (also American) mini- and micro-computers, including DEC, HP, Apple and IBM PC.
