IBM Makes Firefox Its Corporate Browser
e9th writes "Ars Technica reports that IBM has adopted Firefox as its company-wide browser. Firefox will be installed on all new employee computers, and all 400,000 employees will be encouraged to use it. Speaking of encouraging Firefox use, IBM VP Bob Sutor blogs: 'We will continue to strongly encourage our vendors who have browser-based software to fully support Firefox.' I hope this means that if IBM can't navigate a vendor's site with Firefox, they'll just look elsewhere."
First off "IBM PC" is a brand name and that's what I was referring to, and you knew very well that's what I meant. Second.....
>>>The PC was invented by Apple
WRONG. The first personal computers were sold in the early 70s, and the most popular of those was the Altair (1975-77). The Apple I was not the first PC. ----- Then Radio Shack introduced the TRS-80 in 1976 and it quickly became the most popular computer up to that date (approximately 1 million sold), followed by the 1979 Atari 400/800 (1.5 million), and finally the Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 (30 million and 15 million respectively).
And now you know..... the Rest of the story. And you can erase that Steve Jobs 101 revisionist stuff from your mind. Apple I was not the first personal computer - the early 70s hobbyist computers were the first PCs.
