International Business Machines (IBM) is a titan of computing history, evolving from a manufacturer of commercial-scale scales into a global leader in hardware and software. The company is legendary for its massive contributions to the industry, including the development of the mainframe, the punch card, and the magnetic storage technologies that powered early data processing. In the realm of retro computing, IBM is most iconic for the IBM PC, which established the standard for personal computing architecture. This 'IBM-type' compatibility became the foundation for the entire PC clone industry, shaping the modern computing landscape. From the System/360 mainframes to the legendary Model M keyboard, IBM's hardware defined the aesthetic and functional standards of the 20th-century digital revolution.
