IBM 42H1292 and 1391401 keyboards

IBM 42H1292 and 1391401 keyboards

I know it's wrong to get excited about a keyboard. I feel so dirty. But I can't help it.

Keyboard glamour shot

The object of my perverse desire is an IBM model 42H1292 buckling-spring 101 key industrial heavy duty keyboard, available from for $US49 (versus a full retail price more like $US69). Don't accidentally go to ; that's Wombat Keyboards, whose products may well be excellent but who are not the guardians of the One True Keyboard.

Unicomp, which owns the no-terminal-s pckeyboard.com, bought the IBM keyboard technology from Lexmark, the IBM subsidiary that now makes nothing but printers but used to make keyboards as well. They're making their own, and also selling old stock; I bought three new-in-box 1996-vintage 'boards. Unlike many elderly keyboards, their cable terminates in a PS/2 connector, not the fat 5 pin DIN connector that older PCs use and which requires a clumsy adaptor to work with newer machines.

If you can't find a 42H1292, try getting a 1391401 instead. It's much the same thing, but with a plug-in cable.

What is the history between Bill Gates and IBM?

What is the history between Bill Gates and IBM?


Ans : After Bill Gates and his friend Paul Allen made Microsoft, they wanted to goet it out there, so they told IBM about it who then wanted to see it. So, IBM took it and discussed it, not reaching a licensing agreement, but that Microsoft had to get a good operating system. Gates got 86-DOS, which is similar to CP/M and which Tim Paterson had made for hardware like a computer. Microsoft made a deal with them that he would be exclusive licensing agent, and later on become the full owner, of the operating system 86-DOS. Gates then insisted that IBM let Microsoft keep the copyright on 86-DOS, because other vendures werre believed to eventually clone IBM's system.

The History of Intel

The History of Intel


Intel was founded on July 18, 1968 with one main goal in mind: to make semiconductor memory more practicle. Intels first microprocessor, the 4004 microcomputer, was released at the end of 1971. The chip was smaller then a thumbnail, contained 2300 transistors, and was capable of executing 60,000 operations in one second. Shortly after the release of th 4004 the 8008 microcomputer was released and was capable of executing twice as many operations per second then the 4004. Intels commitment to the microprocessor led to IBM's choice of Intel's 8088 chip for the CPU of the its first PC. In 1982, Intel introduced the first 286 chip, it contained 134,000 transistors and provided around three times the performance of the other microprocessors at the time. In 1989 the 486 processor was released that contained 1.2 million transistors and the first built in math coprocessor. The chip was approximately 50 times faster then Intels original 4004 processor and equaled the performance of a powerful mainframe computer. In 1993 Intel introduced the Pentium processor, which was five times as fast as the 486, it contained 3.1 million transistors, and was capable of 90 million instructions per second (MIPS). In 1995 Intel introduced its new technology, MMX, MMX was designed to enhance the computers multimedia performance. Throughout the years that followed Intel released several lines of processors including the Celeron, the P2, P3, and P4. Intel processors now reach speeds upwards of 2200 MHZ or 2.2 GHZ.

HISTORY OF IBM 2000

The decade begins with a Y2K-related drop-off in customer demand and the collapse of the dot-coms. If 2000 is seen as a watershed for e-business, 2001 is the year the world's established enterprises awake to its true possibilities -- and information technology requirements. In addition, IBM debuts a new generation of servers -- the eServer -- for meeting entirely new, unprecedented demands on the underlying infrastructure supporting e-business.

Sam Palmisano and Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. The 2000's are also marked by a transition in IBM's leadership. Samuel J. Palmisano becomes president and chief operating officer in 2000 and then, two years later, he is named chief executive officer of IBM. As CEO, Palmisano succeeds Louis V. Gerstner, Jr., who remains IBM chairman through 2002.
