In 1981, IBM was the most dominant force in computing the world had ever seen, and the last company anyone expected to build a machine for the home. This week, we trace how a rejected 1979 business plan turned into the IBM Personal Computer, following the reluctant path from Frank Cary's boardroom to a renegade engineering team in Boca Raton, Florida. We explore how a manager named Don Estridge broke nearly every rule IBM held sacred to hit an impossible deadline, why the machine's open architecture happened almost by accident, and how that same decision quietly built the foundation an entire generation of PC gaming would grow up on. Join us as we watch an elephant learn to dance, on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
