New RARE amiga tower from IBM :)

They came with the best keyboards ever made.  IIRC these PCs had a lifetime warranty (as long as you have them).  

Could you imagine how different the PC industry would be today if the IBM executives didn't keep the MCA (first P&P on x86!) from going mainstream.  IBM could have made their own PReP-compliant mobos and let Taiwan do the thing they do best.

IBM executives are really retarded.  They must have had their education from Dilbert comics back then... :lol:

@asian1

I am aware about these companies using MCA in their PCs/Peripherals.

Back then...

There was a problem: Lack of Plug And Play on x86 PCs.
Solution: MCA was the only solution at the time.
Problem: License fees were too expensive.

Finally Microsoft took care of the problem...  In '95~96. :roll:
