Da gab's doch noch die Geschichte von dem Telefonanruf des
IBM-Einkaeufers bei Intel:

IBM: Hello, is that the Intel Sales Department?
Intel: Yes, what can I do for You?
IBM: I want some 8088s!
Intel: Sure, the Coke vending machine processor, how many do You need?
IBM: 2 Million!
Intel: Two million Coke vending machine processors!?! What do You want
   with two million Coke vending machine processors?
IBM: Build PCs from them ...
