I type "altavista" into my browser (or just "al", usually) and it takes me

find things I need, so I see no need to change my habits.

The IBM Consent Decree (which ran from 1956 until 2001 for its last
provisions) probably had a far bigger impact on IBM's business strategy and
options ... just harder to analyze. It didn't directly affect either the
rise or decline of the mainframe :)

Google has its own chatbot. Still, chatbots are years away from reliable use.

I wonder about the accuracy of this article saying that IBM was involved in the

IBM appears to have returned to its strength of conducting top-class
