Two pages from the triumphal tramp through Big Blue's three-quarters of a century.[/caption]
Found today in a "Paper" blue bin: Twenty-four years ago International Business Machines celebrated it's 75th anniversary in the pages of this issue of Think, September 1989 (Volume 55, Number 5), it's in-house magazine. The triumphal tone throughout is to be expected in a house organ, but it was a huge milestone, and IBM's corporate history was also largely the history of American high technology supremacy in the 20th Century -- hard not to be a bit smug. And The Damocles sword of anti-trust action no longer hung over their head.
I find that a copy of this oversized paperback magazine is available on Amazon for $14. Click on the images to enlarge them.

"Think," is the famous company motto coined by IBM CEO Thomas J. Watson, Sr. in 1911, I believe it replaced the less successful team-building slogan, 'There is no "I" in I.B.M.'
