Many blog entries preceded the book, some by years - look at the URL dates. Cringely was not employed by IBM according to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_X._Cringely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_X._Cringely Cringely was an early employee of Apple and has worked for PBS (another TLA), as a journalist. My point here is to urge people to be cautious when including IBM in their career plans. If you can get past Cringely's flamboyant writing style you will see that on the topic of IBM Cringely is informed and has been accurate for years. Please do your own research into IBM's treatment of employees and customers before hooking your cart to IBM's horse.
