Lyrics:
You wanna start small, but think tall.
That's your plan with computers that can grow along with you.

How you gonna do it?
Well, you're gonna PS/2 it!
With the IBM PS/2!

You wanna network up, and network down.
Share information with other towns.
Oh, well organized too, well that's your dream!

How you gonna do it?
How?
You're gonna PS/2 it!
with the IBM PS/2!

You wanna juggle 10 things all at once, and still have time to break for lunch?
*guitar riff* OOH!
In your business, you got a bottom line mission.
You got to RISE above all the competition!

How you gonna do it?
Easy!
You're gonna PS/2 it!
The solution is IBM!
The solution is IBM!

You've seen it here first: IBM predicted the Smartwatch.

[LaskyLabs]

With a song this catchy I'll bet IBM, even all these years later is doing really well in the consumer desktop and operating system space!
I mean, after all, PC-DOS and OS/2 have proven themselves to be extremely competent operating systems!

[collegeman]

Anyone could tell that IBM was out of the home computer business when the software term “IBM compatible” was replaced with “Win 95”. They never recovered.

[QuantumBraced]

Don't listen to this more than twice unless you want it to be in your head for a month.

[navigate]

I just wish that IBM would keep making home computers, I would buy one.

[LEGIONCABAL]

Those oneshot scenes are impressive, especially for that time

[WackyH]

Friend: What's your favorite song?
Me, an intellectual:

[lydialoud]

If you didn't mind the premium price and being locked into the proprietary Microchannel Architecture, these were very solid machines

[MrDemonsushii]

Catchiest computer commercial of all time. Pure genius marketing.

[jameseb]

The IBM PS/2 was our first family computer! I remember how amazing it was! Juxtapose that to how computers are in the present day. We have come so far!

[jameseb]

The IBM PS/2 was our family's very first computer!

[Space_Emperor]

This really makes me wish I was alive before the 2000's!

[samueldsouza]

i wish IBM still made pc because their quality is one of the best (even considering that loads are still alive all over the world)

[Cristhian]

Damn, the memories... oh, wait, I hadn't been born yet.

[crusaidervi]

One of the most important computers of the 80's. It has set keyboard and I/O standards

[IkarusKommt]

The most fascinating thing about PS/2 is how small it is. Also, it is funny that you can use the modern monitors, mice, and keyboards with a 30 years old computer.

[Antarath]

We (our family) got our first computer in 1989. IBM.. no idea what model. DOS OS, PC speaker (god, my ears) and no colors (everything was green). Among the first games we had was Stealth f117 (I think that's the name), Prince of Persia and Street Rod, then later on I got Ski or Die. Man, those were times. I knew sooo many DOS commands and they're all forgotten.

[brentmann]

The unmistakable voice of the great "Jingle Jake" Holmes.

my first computer growing up was an IBM PS/2 model 70
