Died October 19, 2013.
In 1980, it was decided that IBM should develop a personal computer that could be mass marketed to reach beyond business into people's homes.
In 1981, there came the IBM 5150 PC for $1,565, not including the monitor.
Other companies were already making computers as early as the 1970s. Mr. Lowe convinced his bosses that he could assemble a team and make one. He, however, didn't learn how to use one himself for a while. he was described by his daughter as a "slow Adapter." He joined IBM in 1962.
That's Why I Sit here a Typin' away. Thanks Mr. Lowe.
