observation on IBM PC question

In case anyone actually followed my advice and took a look at the IBM site,
I wanted to add that IBM seems to be adding credence to what we as a group
do, as in computer collecting. (Maybe we do other things as a group, I'm
not sure.) Besides photos of their vintage computers, they also provide
prices, specs and on some models actual downloads, although the downloads
have been around for years from their BBS. It would seem that they
realize that a lot of their computers are still around and new owners may
be looking for information on them, but they are also, perhaps, offering
this stuff for original owners who might still be plunking away on a PCjr
or 5150 somewhere. As a company, IBM seems to be interested in its past
which I find refreshing.

Maybe this is obvious. I am really good at quoting that.
