I love this story by @garius.bsky.social about Don Estridge and the creation of the IBM PC. every.to/the-crazy-on... It's a fascinating story and well told. Back then I was a personal computer fan boy. I had bought a TRS-80 in 1979 and ordered an IBM PC shortly after it came out in 1981.

I just did some googling to remind myself of the order of events. I keep seeing the quote “At the time, one analyst remarked: ‘IBM bringing out a personal computer would be like teaching an elephant to tap dance.’” I haven’t found the origin of that quote.
