In the early 90's IBM's forecasters correctly identified the future growth in computer calculations they just missed the fact they would be coming from cheap microprocessors rather than from computers to be built in the empty plants management constructed It is too simple to say that IBM's fall was based on failure to predict the "cheap microprocessor" market. It is more accurate to paraphrase Thomas Watson: ...as our scene opens... Tom: The world will only need 5 computers. John Akers: Yeah, and IBM will CONTROL them all!!! ...curtain(s) :)))
