92 20 years is a long time in the software industry. Consider this: in 1980, when Richard Stallma n was cursing the AI Lab's Xerox laser printer, Microsoft, which dominates the worldwide softw are industry, was still a privately held startup. IBM, the company then regarded as the most p owerful force in the computer hardware industry, had yet to introduce its first personal compu ter, thereby igniting the current low-cost PC market. Many of the technologies we now take for granted -- the World Wide Web, satellite television, 32-bit video-game consoles -- didn't eve n exist. The same goes for many of the companies that now fill the upper echelons of the corpo rate establishment, companies like AOL, Sun Microsystems, Amazon.com, Compaq, and Dell. The li st goes on and on.

个计算机业的发展,则也是之后的事情了。而当今我们习以为常的很多技术,在那时都还没出现。包括WWW> 网络,卫星电视,32位终端游戏机等等。如今的很多计算机巨头,则也一样在当时还没建立。包括AOL,Sun ,亚马逊,康柏,戴尔等等。
不是还没建立,只是变化没如今这样
ibm不单单是被黑客视为计算机行业的巨头,黑客一词还有"当时"一词都是多添加的,多则缪已
