ML, I'm an IBM baby, I remember the old days.

Posted by ty97 Jan 5 '09, 07:59

I also remember the early 90s and when IBM changed. I remember my parents constantly fearing for my dad's job and retirement. I recall the ravaging of the Hudson Valley plants.

I never would have lived in Texas if not for IBM
