Illustrative Addendum

Here's an illustrative addendum to yesterdays story. For all who are still able enough to read b&w pictures this should be evidence enough.

Thomas Watson Sr. bringing thinking to the business

This word is on the most conspicuous wall of every room in every IBM building. Each employee carries a THINK notebook in which to record inspirations. The company stationery, matches, scratch pads all bear the inscription, THINK. A monthly magazine called 'Think' is distributed to the employees.

Thomas Watson jr., executing thinking in the business

In his first move as president of IBM, Watson Jr. decided to take what Fortune Magazine would later call the company’s “$5 Billion Gamble”. He hired a team of electrical engineers and set them to work designing mainframe computers. Since they would be incompatible with all of IBM’s previous products, the risk was obvious.

Steve Jobs, reality distortion on a high level

Steve generally treated Bill as someone who was slightly inferior, especially in matters of taste and style. Bill looked down on Steve because he couldn't actually program.

William Gates Jr., pay my soft ware

Es gibt sogar
Verbrecher, die das ganze WE zusätzlich durcharbeiten, um Pegelkarten zu bauen. Das sind dann die allerletzten.

Hey, it's just a phrase wishing to convey that you're always smarter after the event than before it.

Addendum
Oracle is now mentioned in the English Wikipedia article on teletext and even has its own article here. Electra has one too.

Should be
pretty easy to guess from the context and image who HaFi and InTu are. Besides, thx for the hint to the open bold-tag.

Die Schutzkleidung ist ein großes Problem. Sie verhindert allzu oft, dass mann mit anderen Säugetieren gut umgehen kann.
