Leaving aside the pile of money that IBM doesn't have that it would
take to do that, it's hard for me to understand why or how IBM would
suddenly become competent (and profitable) as a manufacturer of mass
market chips.

I see you're still as dumb as ever, Robert.


If there is some chapter in the history of IBM successes I have failed
to notice, please let us know. They were very profitable as a
manufacturer of punch cards between the two world wars, but they sold
even those at an obscene markup before it became illegal as trading
with the enemy.
