The number tattoos from the holocaust directly tie into early ‘database software’ aka tabulation machines developed by IBM. IBMs NYC HQ was involved the entire time from prewar census to ghettos to concentration camps. And then they made your first PC.
My first PC was zilog based. But yep, IBM 100% helped Nazi Germany catalog and track their prisoners on the way to the ovens. But like so many companies they’ve been allowed to whitewash their image.
The statistically average persons first PC. My school didn’t have a datapoint computer lab. The Amiga 500 didn’t put a computer repair shop in every town. IBM was on top when computers were being put everywhere. And even when they weren’t, “Dude, you’re getting an IBM clone.”
Say what now?

Whoa, thanks.
Commodore 64 gang, by the way :-D
🤘🏼🤜🏼
They made the Amiga 500??!?
Amiga, the superior computing platform of the 20th century

They made Fisher-Price My First Computer?
Yep, they’re basically the UIDs from IBM’s system, or something pretty close to that.
How have I never heard of this?
Because IBM would strongly prefer you not know about it, and/or you haven’t played the wikipedia ‘how many clicks to Hitler’ game enough.
MY first PC, or THE first PC? Cuz a couple of years ago, IEEE recognized the Datapoint as manufacturing the first PC.
