De plus, ses machines sont considérées comme lourdes, chères, et difficiles à faire fonctionner. Mais malgré tout le mal que certains peuvent en dire, IBM reste le plus important constructeur informatique mondial, avec énormément de réalisations fondamentales produites par ses centres de recherche disséminés partout dans le monde. IBM a été fondé en 1896 par Hollerith, Hermann. Voir aussi IBSYS, NetBIOS, SNA. Versions françaises alternatives: Idiot Bête et Méchant, ou encore Intelligent Beau et Modeste (Claude Blondelle).
