A Christmas carol brought to you by IBM will continue in a moment.
Every company must be measured by its concern for people, not just as customers, but as
individuals.
And at IBM, our concern takes many forms.
Everyone has limitations.
All that varies is the degree.
I guess I've been a reasonable success for a guy that a little over 20 years ago got
taken in a city ambulance with everything I owned in a paper bag from one hospital to
another hospital so that I could stay there the rest of my life.
Today if people ask me if I lead a full life, I tell them, well, I'm a father and a husband.
I have a job as a systems analyst with IBM, not a handicapped systems analyst, a systems
analyst.
There's an award called Handicapped American of the Year.
The president selected me to receive it in 1985.
It was an honor.
But my goal is to make possible the day when my children will read that plaque and not
understand why dad was given an award simply because he's blinded in a wheelchair.
Because they'll already know there's more than one way to see and more than one way
to get from here to there.
The story of Jim Caldwell has been brought to you by IBM.
Even if something could signal you when you make a spelling mistake, that would mean you'd
be able to correct it before anyone else ever saw it.
Well, IBM Wheel Rider and QuietWriter typewriters with SpellCheck can do that.
It's an electronic dictionary that signals you when you misspell a word.
So now if you make a spelling mistake, the whole world doesn't have to know.
Where you been?
Busy.
My son's home with the family.
From the city?
Must have cost a bundle.
He just got a big promotion.
Your son?
Yep.
The business was growing too fast.
The right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing.
He finally knows his right hand from his left.
He knew IBM could help.
They've got computers and software for any size business.
He put computers on everyone's desk.
He used something called telecommunications to tie all their offices together.
Now everyone knows what's going on from LA to New York.
No one understands what's going on in New York.
How'd your son know IBM did all that?
He's a smart boy.
Smart boy, I'll say.
Smart boy.
Who'd he take after?
What?
And now, A Christmas Carol, starring George C. Scott and Susanna York, continues.
A Christmas Carol brought to you by IBM will continue in a moment.
Every Indian business wants to do things better and faster.
IBM products, technology, and service help people in all kinds of businesses do exactly
that.
Heart surgery.
Before it can be performed, doctors need vital information.
X-ray films tell them a lot, but they could tell them even more.
That's why at an IBM scientific center in Winchester, England, computer researchers
and doctors are working together to transform the conventional X-ray into something remarkable.
A three-dimensional computer model of a patient's arteries.
This IBM technology is also being used to create a computer model of a patient's beating
heart.
This experimental project is an example of innovation at IBM.
And one day, it could be another way computers help doctors save lives.
Looks like Santa needs help.
Now you're gonna tell me Santa Claus could use an IBM computer.
He probably could.
I knew we'd get around to this.
And keep track of who wants what who has been nice and naughty.
He'd be in trouble.
And knowing IBM, he'd get great service even at the North Pole.
Santa could use an IBM computer.
Sure could.
Maybe he could.
Last year, he forgot to get me what I asked for.
IBM presents a sneak preview of a television series that makes mathematics so appealing
and fun for kids that you will want to remember its name.
Square one!
Multiplication.
Geometry.
A prime number.
This just into the newsroom.
Fractions.
12 sixteenths.
It's smaller than seven eighths.
They're all part of the fun on Square One TV.
Square One TV is underwritten in part by IBM and is produced by Children's Television Workshop.
It will air every weekday on most PBS stations premiering January 26th.
Watch for it.
Just a little simple mathematics.
Helping support Square One TV is another way IBM is helping support education.
And now, the conclusion of A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott and David Warner.
And so ends A Christmas Carol.
A story for all times, for all places.
The people of IBM around the world, thank you for joining us.
Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas everyone.

A healthy New Year to you all.
A Merry Christmas to you all.
Thank you God, New York.
Merry Christmas.
