I'm good...Thanks
- why would I celebrate the company that makes my least favourite software?
  
  Because, while they did so in a scummy wayz they revolutionized home computing and office computing.
So this code likely generated the very first blue screen of death.
- What is this "blue" you mention? That's not green Or amber!
  
  Seriously though, errors in native code back then would either freeze the system or just spontaneously reboot, either way no time to display a reason. (Although the BASIC interpreter would at least try to say what happened with errors in BASIC code.)
.. And then I bought DOS and Mommy convinced the IBM board to ONLY use my DOS.

The End -
- Technically they didn't make DOS but bought it, rebrand it then had to support it.
wow, that website, its just wow
