That's a lie.  IBM has not been saying from 2.0 on that they were
pursuing only the banks and insurances.  On the contrary, they were
saying they were targeting small businesses for their mission critical
computing needs.  Later, when they screwed up big time with OS/2
reliability, they started saying it is for corporate use, even then,
they were not saying it was only targeted towards banks and insurances.
