When was the first IBM computer released?
IBM announced the IBM 701 on April 29, 1952.
The first production machine sold, serial number 2, was delivered to Los Alamos Scientific Lab on March 31, 1953; it was installed and operational three days later.
What are the prices of IBM compatible computers?
IBM compatible was a term used in the eighties to describe personal computers that could run PC-DOS the IBM operating software. These days the term is redundant.

What did Howard Aiken do to help to progress of computers?
He designed several computers for Harvard University, starting with the electromechanical Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator which was built by IBM but after an argument between Aiken and IBM he renamed it the Harvard Mark i and banished IBM from Harvard. The rest of his computers were built entirely by people from Harvard.
What was IBM's first compact computer?
First IBM PC (Personal Computer) was IBM model number5150, which was introduced on August 12, 1981.
IBM's first electronic digital computer was the 701 Defense Calculator, introduced in 1952.
IBM's first computer was the Harvard Mark I, in 1942, but it was electromechanical.
When did arch rivals IBM and apple computers inc decide to join hands?
In October of 1991 IBM and Apple Inc partnered to form two smaller companies, Kaleida Labs and Taligent. In hopes to creature a new age of Operating Systems (or OS's) the two companies joined together and released PPC (Power Performance Computing) software which was a benchmark in Apple's journey toward creating MacOS.
Taligent itself led to few other hits and was dissolved and absorbed by Apple Inc again in the late 1990's. Kaleida Labs was in the midst of releasing the Kaleida Media Player (basically an early version of an internet browser) but closed in 1996 allowing Netscape to overtake the market which KMP would have been introduced to.
How much is a thinkpad t60 worth?
The Lenovo T60 Thinkpad has been discontinued for quite a few years now so it will be virtually impossible to find a new, and unused device. But you can find a used one listed on craigslist anywhere from $100-300 dollars.

intarnal customers are the Supliers customers,were as the external customers are the retailers/the end users.
Does IBM main frame 360 work similar to the new virtual desktops?
Kind of. Due to changes in the processor instruction set, later models of the IBM System/360 were able to utilize full virtualization, similar to what x86 processors with the Intel VT/AMD-V extension can utilize today. The System/360-67, the first model which could utilize virtualization, ran an operating system called CP/CMS, which was revolutionary at the time, since it divided each user session in such a way that an issue in one user session could not crash another user's session. Each user session ran on its own virtual machine with its own copy of the operating system, with all of these machines being controlled by a central control program. This hypervisor-virtual machine arrangement is extremely similar to how bare-metal virtualization products (VMWare's ESX Server, Citrix's Xen and derivative products) work today. In terms of architecture, no, x86 isn't similar at all to what IBM used back then -- which is why it took x86 over 30 years longer to develop the same technology.

Can anyone explain what 'ms ISI' abbreviation stands for?
The abbreviation ISI stands for Iceland. Iceland is more commonly referred to with IS or ISK but ISI is also used. One website that uses the abbreviate ISI can be found here. 1. http://www.metal-archives.com/ 2. On left column click on Bands by Country 3. Click on Iceland You will see bands using the ISI abbreviation for Iceland so as to not be confused with other bands. The abbreviation ISI stands for Iceland.

What is a correct default combination of com ports and irq for a typical ibm compatible computer?
COM1 and COM3, IRQ4
What is the use of decoder in computer architecture?
For the computer to read the information as it only reads 1/0 which then brings you to binary.In both the multiplexer and the demultiplexer, part of the circuits decode the address inputs, i.e. it translates a binary number of n digits to 2n outputs, one of which (the one that corresponds to the value of the binary number) is 1 and the others of which are 0.
It is sometimes advantageous to separate this function from the rest of the circuit, since it is useful in many other applications. Thus, we obtain a new combinatorial circuit that we call the decoder. It has the following truth table (for n = 3):
a2 a1 a0 | d7 d6 d5 d4 d3 d2 d1 d0 ---------------------------------- 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 | 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 | 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 | 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 | 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 | 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 | 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 | 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Here is the circuit diagram for the decoder:
