Corporate computer executives coined the phrase ``nobody ever got fired for buying IBM'' to describe why they stuck to Big Blue, no matter what upstart competitors tried to sell them. Today the successors to those Big Blue loyalist information technology executives have rewritten the slogan. Nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft, they say. But every time they say it about Microsoft, they remember that their predecessors used to say it about IBM.
