Actually, the twelfth is the twentieth anniversary.
The 5150 (along with the Apple II, the original Mac, and the Compaq Portable, among others) is one of the greats. Without it, who knows how long it would have been before the PC industry took off?
Congrats to IBM.
BTW, it's also the fortieth anniversary of the beginning of work on the Berlin Wall. (Insert your own joke here):)

Just as long as you didn't float to the edge of the anti-grav pad. WHUMP.

Looking good!
I've noticed quite a few little things that I like already.
Now it loads at a respectable speed on my poor old 132MHz 604 also.
