Here's the blank sheet in case anybody's interested in making their own :)

A character sheet for Norbert (Big Blue)

Impact was guaranteed when the decision to enter the market of #microcomputers was made by #IBM. In retrospect it wasn't their capacity of unique hardware design and outstanding software development skills that made their #PC so successful.

Of course the #BigBlue #corporation with #Sstem360 #mainframe #computers ignored niche markets like #homecomputers for most of the 1970s. As #marketleaders they did #LOL hard about #hobbyists, especially since #DEC challenged them hard with better #minicomputers.

Simultaneously, IBM built a team of young talented engineers in Boca Raton, Florida, to develop a #microcomputer in secrecy, and fast! Somehow, directors #WilliamLowe & #PhilipDonEstridge made a decision under pressure that turned out to be great for the entire market, not their employer exclusively.

Considering the time (and #$hits) given, it's only logical that they relied heavily on free available components instead of own #chipdesigns. But somehow, the lack of #IP passed their lawyers and IP team before #InternationalBusinessMachines went public.

1981, August 12th, the IBM #PC5150 changed the world of #PersonalComputers, by accident (for the better of humanity).

Suite à une conversation en MP avec @alcidefulchibar (qui ne m’en voudra pas j’espère d’exposer la capture de cette conversation, en même temps y a rien de très personnel), j’ai rapidement croqué the Big Blue. Et donc le logo fait de mémoire est catastrophique ! 😁😅😁
Mon poignet va me maudire (d’ailleurs il le fait à l’instant où je tape ces lignes l’enfoiré !!! 😡), mais tantpis.

Deep cut...

But here's Nintendo's live musicians playing the very jazzy rendition of 'Big Blue' from F-Zero, specifically for the Mario Kart course.

Saxophones are cool, yeah?

Let me tell you a story about back in the early 1990's... did a highly unusual thing in 1991, they spent what I estimate $10,000 per head (2024 adjusted) to give some of us social media users an award ceremony weekend party! At the - Now I've worked for billionaires (Paul Allen) directly down the office from me, 8 doors, running their private social media. So I know what lavish is like...
