Lyrics: You wanna start small, but think tall. That's your plan with computers that can grow along with you. How you gonna do it? Well, you're gonna PS/2 it! With the IBM PS/2!

I think Penny from Inspector Gadget beat them by about six years. Still though this was practical effects rather than cartoons. I love it when Sci Fi influences progress. Star Trek and their cell phones/tablets are a classic example.
Anyone could tell that IBM was out of the home computer business when the software term “IBM compatible” was replaced with “Win 95”. They never recovered.
With a song this catchy I'll bet IBM, even all these years later is doing really well in the consumer desktop and operating system space! I mean, after all, PC-DOS and OS/2 have proven themselves to be extremely competent operating systems!
They sold that business unit to certain Chinese manufacturer, and they are first in market share nowadays. If it was not so mismanaged, we would all talk about how the newest IBM Thinkpad with PowerPC is the hottest shit in town 😂
IBM Sold their PC Division to Lenovo who only went and fucked it up and now Thinkpads aren't what they used to be. its not known if its true or not but IBM supposedly sold their PC Division to Lenovo so they could gain a stronger foothold inside the PRC where there is no such thing as a FREE MARKET.
@@user-or6yn8pm3c better off with an inferior data bus? Not really. People who couldn’t afford IBM bought Dell or HP or Compaq. If you wanted the BEST you knew there was no replacement.

The IBM PS/2 was our first family computer! I remember how amazing it was! Juxtapose that to how computers are in the present day. We have come so far!
If you actually had to use a computer from the '80s, you might not think so. They're soooooooo much easier to use now than they were back then, and they can do soooooooo much more. And they cost so much less now! IBM sold one of its PS/2 models for $17,000. The $2,500 Macintosh in 1984 was considered a "cheap" computer appliance for home use. When this commercial aired in 1989, Windows 2.0 was state of the art, and a lot of people were still using DOS only. It was pretty clunky to say the least. Even Windows 95 was a huge leap forward, but that wouldn't be for another six years.
Yeah, but MS DOS is so iconic, and I have actually used it before. Its really cool! Me personally, I was born in 2003, and I wish I was born in the 90s. Thats when technology started to rise and I really wish I were able to experience it.
The most fascinating thing about PS/2 is how small it is. Also, it is funny that you can use the modern monitors, mice, and keyboards with a 30 years old computer.
@ He's facing the wrong because artistic licence. Watch the commercial again, his head was specifically turned to face the PS/2 "smartwatch" on his wrist. It wasn't meant to be a 1 to 1 replica, it was to take a well known, well understood statue of a man deep in thought, and repurpose it to show just how smart the PS/2 computer was. At the end of the day this is a commercial designed to sell a product, altering classic art to serve these purposes is nothing new, even at the time.
First time I saw this I said "Bullshit! Thinker does not look like that". And you cannot exclude the possibility that IBM did that on purpose, for whatever the reason.
@@paulcanniff4308 to be fair in this case their is a clear an obvious answer, it's IN the commercial and it's not even remotely subtle. If this is genuinly supposed to be evidence of the Mandela effect then I'm sorry but this is nothing more than cherry picking, removing it from context, and hoping the person your presenting it to is gullible enough to not look into it for themselves. Their are far better examples than this if you genuinly both believe and want to convince someone it's real.

We (our family) got our first computer in 1989. IBM.. no idea what model. DOS OS, PC speaker (god, my ears) and no colors (everything was green). Among the first games we had was Stealth f117 (I think that's the name), Prince of Persia and Street Rod, then later on I got Ski or Die. Man, those were times. I knew sooo many DOS commands and they're all forgotten.
It’s funny cause Microsoft built OS/2 for IBM while building Windows. They even told IBM that Windows was the way to go and they were too stubborn to listen and insisted on their own proprietary operating system. Well you know the rest...
Yes that's really a smart watch in the 1980s. From what I've heard from computer chronicles there was technology that ibm had back then that was never released because it was so ahead of its time. Ibm dominated most of the market until windows 95 came out
I'm looking to do the same thing. What hardware (capture card, interface component/composite), software (recording, filters) did you use? I need to know everything! Much thanks!
The position of the thinkers right hand is in the wrong place it should be under the chin....this could be Mandela effect residue or the creators of the commercial just got it wrong

You've seen it here first: IBM predicted the Smartwatch.

Don't listen to this more than twice unless you want it to be in your head for a month.
I have listened to this about eleven times in the last hour
I have listened to this thirteen times in the last half hour
Too late... I've had this s*** in my head for 30 yrs.
I've involuntarily sang "Well... you're gonna PS/2 it" in my head every time I've seen a PS/2 connector for years.
@@delicious_lunch3823 I have an IBM PC300GL and a Model M. Whenever I fiddle with PS/2 connections, I always sing the song fully unless I mess up
I just wish that IBM would keep making home computers, I would buy one.
Pot N' Pan I hope they do a throwback, like a similar chassis but with the hardware of today
Lenovo bought the liscense, and is making a thinkpad classic, which is basically a thinner, widescreen 90s thinkpad
Lenovo has taken over IBM laptops. Their thinkpads are pretty (some) close to the IBM ones
IBM Sold their PC Division to Lenovo who only went and fucked it up and now Thinkpads aren't what they used to be. its not known if its true or not but IBM supposedly sold their PC Division to Lenovo so they could gain a stronger foothold inside the PRC where there is no such thing as a FREE MARKET.
Un modifiable pc’s are dead
Those oneshot scenes are impressive, especially for that time
If you didn't mind the premium price and being locked into the proprietary Microchannel Architecture, these were very solid machines
At that point only a sucker paid that much for a PC. You were better off with Dell or Gateway or Compaq.
@@user-or6yn8pm3c better off with an inferior data bus? Not really. People who couldn’t afford IBM bought Dell or HP or Compaq. If you wanted the BEST you knew there was no replacement.
@@UHOH3300 If you wanted the best you bought an Amiga and a PC compatibility card if needed
Going by the date it's the 80286 model 30 which it came with ISA bus. The earlier model 30 with a 8086 cpu came with mca.

Yep, they dont call it like this anymore but the modern pc is really a IBM compatible.
One of the most important computers of the 80's. It has set keyboard and I/O standards
i wish IBM still made pc because their quality is one of the best (even considering that loads are still alive all over the world)
Damn, the memories... oh, wait, I hadn't been born yet.
So very '80s.
That's the version of the Thinker statue I remember.
I remember his fist clenched but he was staring forward instead of sideways. Now his fist isn't even clenched help me.
Mine too. Maybe changing it here would had changed the Keyboard distribution.

Maybe this commercial explains THE THINKER Mandela effect. He has his hand on his head not on his chin.
First time I saw this I said "Bullshit! Thinker does not look like that". And you cannot exclude the possibility that IBM did that on purpose, for whatever the reason.
If you look you can see they positioned his head that way so he could be looking at the "smart watch" on his arm.
