Everyone that knew that Texas Instruments started life as a division of 
IBM raise you right hand. Ok, for you trivia fans, can you name the
antitrust case where IBM was ordered to divest themselves of that business?
(No, I don't remember it off hand, but I do remember talking about it around
'77 - '78 when IBM was defending itself against Memorex et al)
