FWIW, I personally know two ex-IBM employees who died of cancer (a neighbor and someone I met in school); neither was particularly advanced in age. Given how few IBM people I know personally, I've always wondered whether they had some industrial exposure to nasties which contributed to their deaths.

But anecdotal indications can easily be mistaken.

JMHO.

Well, IBM employees might live in Santa Clara where all the semiconductor companes had issues with polluting the water and soil. Wasn't there a toxic flume from Fairchild semi in the soil? IBM might be one of the few companies that has "long term employees" as HP and others have sure let a bunch of "old farts" go to reduce costs with younger workers who will put in the long hours for less pay and medical benefits.
