If you go to this link:\nhttp://www.ibm.com/investor/services/index.phtml  You might be able to begin to find the information you are looking for.\n\nThe transfer agent keeps record of all the shares bought and sold.  Because there have been a few stock splits since 1981, they will have record of the total number of shares you own.

Technically, since Dell is a corporation, it is owned by its shareholders. \nA Board of Directors of nine people runs the company. Both Michael Dell, the founder of the company, and Kevin Rollins, the CEO, serve on the board. Other board members include Donald Carty, William Gary, Judy Lewent, Klaus Luft, Alex Mandl, Michael A. Miles and Sam Nunn.\nIn 1998 Michael Dell owned only about 16 percent of Dell Computer's common stock, worth about $10 billion, so Michael Dell doesn't  technically "own" Dell Corporation anymore since he doesn't own 51% of Dell's stock.

Definitely an IBM ThinkPad. Check out some of the videos @ http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/thinkpad/community/legends/index.html\nThey show some of the things IBM's have been put through. I'm a computer technician at a large contracting construction company and all of our project managers have IBM's. Plus if you buy the next day service from them, they WILL send someone to your house the next day to fix your problem.

I think they are still a privately held company.  They own themselves.

Lenovo has bought PCs and notebooks divisions of IBM. Therefore while buying a Lenovo computer in my opinion you would be getting quality of IBM; which is great.

Several companies... competitors if you will, with different products or locations that work together to procure business they wouldn't get by themselves.\n\nYou might have a requisition put out by IBM to supply electical equipment for all it's locations. Being a single location company, you might ally with companies like yours across the country to be able to service the contract. Company A handles the NY locations, company B the facilities in CA, etc.

No, it's not just $80.24 - $21.56.  \n\nFirst, we need to find out if there were any stock splits (adjustments in the price of the stock and number of shares outstanding) in IBM's stock during that period and adjust the resulting current price accordingly.\n\nFor instance, suppose a person bought 100 shares of IBM stock at $50 per share.  Then within the first year of ownership, there was a 2 for 1 stock split.  At the moment that the split takes effect, that person who owned 100 shares of stock at $50 apiece would now own 200 shares of the stock at $25 apiece.  If after a few years the price of the stock made it up to $45, it would look like that person had lost $5 per share (-10%) during that period.  In fact, he made 80% taking into account only the price appreciation of the stock, assuming no transaction fees.  His original investment of $5000 (100 shares at $50 apiece) would now be worth $9000 (200 shares at $45 apiece).\n\nFurthermore, assuming IBM pays periodic dividends (profit distributions to shareholders) which is more likely than not, the number and amount of these dividends received would need to be added into the person's ROI equation.

They wanted to focus on where they currently make their money, and the money was no longer central in computers:\n\nhttp://news.com.com/IBM+sells+PC+group+to+Lenovo/2100-1042_3-5482284.html\n\nThe product is still called IBM but only for 5 years because the name brand is still worth money. After 5 years the name may change to Lennovo. And it was not America that insisted it, it was IBM that insisted the pcs keep the name.\n\n\nIBM not only brought the first PC to market, but it created a standard for generations of PC's. \n\nTed Schadler, why is it selling its business? \n\nTED SCHADLER: Well, IBM getting out of the PC business that it launched in 1981, it's because the business is no longer central or core to IBM's strategy. \n\nfrom: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/july-dec04/ibm_12-9.html

The powerPC didn't exist then.  IBM's chips at the time were designed for more powerful and expensive systems.  The PowerPC didn't actually come out until 1993 in alliance with Apple and Motorolla(AIM).  IBMs own Power chip, which the PowerPC shares a lot with didn't come out until 1990
