Well, aactually, bad PC sales were the LEAST of IBM's problems (I should know--I bought 75 shares at $79). You also have to figure in restructuring costs, the costs involved in shedding jobs (severance pay, replacement assistance, etc.), bad (in the toilet) sales of Mainframes and Minicomputers and on and on. If PCs were IBM's only problem, it would be easy to solve. However, we get to be insulated from all of this. After all, we've never seen Atari lose first place as maker of computers. We've also never seen Atari's "blue chip" stock jump off a bridge. However, I must admit, IBM's stock chart (from 156 to 48 in 5 years) is slightly reminiscent of good 'old ATC... :-)
