This is the story of the first IBM PC - the computer that's the original ancestor of one you probably still own. Today, nearly 40 years after its introduction, modern PC's are used for everything from the kinds of business applications the system was originally designed for, to scientific work, to high-end gaming. But it all started back in 1981 with the IBM 5150. If you're looking for a more personal take on this computer, watch for my upcoming review of this IBM 5150! If you want your own IBM PC, they're not cheap but they are plentiful on Ebay, and I'd love it if you used my affiliate link: ebay.to/2Nmzcaa Some credits for some of the images and other things used in this video: 5100: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_5100#/media/File:IBM_5100_-_MfK_Bern.jpg Datamaster: oldcomputers.net/ibm5322.html Mainframe: www.techrepublic.com/pictures/photos-looking-back-to-the-birth-of-the-mainframe/ buckling spring: By Shaddim - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=30568410 Pet: By Photograph by Rama, Wikimedia Commons, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr, CC BY-SA 2.0 fr, commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=17129317 Atari 400: Evan-Amos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_8-bit_family#/media/File:Atari-400-Comp.jpg Atari 800: Evan-Amos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_8-bit_family#/media/File:Atari-800-Computer-FL.jpg TI 99/4 Tocchet22 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_TI-99/4A#/media/File:TI-99-4_homecomputer_(adjusted_version).jpg Vic 20: Evan-Amos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_VIC-20#/media/File:Commodore-VIC-20-FL.jpg Heathkit H88: Arthur G Korwin Piotrowski en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith_Z-89#/media/File:Heathkit_computer_H88.JPG CGA card: Malvineous en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Graphics_Adapter#/media/File:IBM_Color_Graphics_Adapter.jpg Datamaster ad: Adtari www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhskfSpGxMA PC ad(s): La Mazmorra Abandon www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQT_YCBb9ao&t=16s 5120 ad: Adtari www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_PTPPMxTXo 5100 ad: Magdy Ragab www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m54rKlErwA PC XT photo: Ruben de Rijcke: dendmedia.com/vintage/ PC AT photo: MBlairMartin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer/AT#/media/File:IBM_PC_AT.jpg Model F AT: daedelus deskthority.net/wiki/File:IBM_Model_F_AT.jpg PowerPC 601: Dirk Oppelt commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IBM_PowerPC601_PPC601FD-080-2_top.jpg Portable PC: Hubert Berberich commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IBM-portable-PC-01.jpg There You Go by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: audionautix.com/ Subscribe to my channel: www.youtube.com/c/ModernClassic?sub_confirmation=1 Support me on Patreon!: www.patreon.com/modernclassic Follow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/modernclassicchannel/ And on Twitter: www.twitter.com/modernclassicyt
