Introduced in 1991, the contrived acronym would have you believe that
"PC" stands for "Performance Computing" ...

It was looooooooong ago, but it was a consortium effort between IBM &
Motorola to attempt to unseat Intel in the microprocessor market.

I was based out of Silicon Valley where the company would "slingshot" me
everywhere in the world to put out fires, and suddenly, for a period of
time when the project faltered, they'd slingshot me between Scottsdale & TJ
Watson (I had to work "undercover" in Poughkeepsie by not wearing a suit
and covering the equipment in sheets I bought at the local stores).

The project lasted until somewhere in the mid 2000's, when Apple killed it
off, so it was an interesting assemblage of big companies versus Intel.

Intel won.

Then they started slingshotting me to Haifa, where I saw the office
buildings with huge holes in the side that they didn't bother patching from
when rockets were fired from Lebanon.

Given what happened yesterday, some things never change....
