     Yep.  Without IBM and the deals he made he would still be in his   
   basement.   
     But like everything else, if not that person and whatever they   
   invented/improved/marketed, etc it would have been someone else.   
     If not Watts and the steam engine, it would have been someone else at   
   some later point in time for example.

     Gotta keep pushing more of the product out the door.   
     Just add a few new bells and whistles and call it "new and improved".   
     I always ask myself when I read that what was wrong with it before?
