Renal Disease In Puppies

Chapter II: 11.0 The Schwaben-string



high above San Francisco, Gary B. Friedman was high. In his Nobel-decorated office (Eternit IT leader Alfred Tauchnitz, "'ne dufte room") on the 32nd Floor of the Embarcadero Center, he nailed the color photograph of a check in the precious tapestry. The opening took place without the exhibitor.
base of Happy Beginnings was the IBM Germany. She had sent the co-founder ITLE Friedman (former IBM manager in Frisco District) 80,000 marks fine.
notice of the fine against IBM has not made out by the Supreme Court of the United States, but by the regional court in Stuttgart. The occasion was 32 000 bytes to the Swabian Klett-Verlag, 22 August 1972 at ITLE Germany-branch had rented. Monthly rent: 4,500 marks. Reason for the hire was not the cheapest price. The offer of Velcro ITLE replied in a position to free the system from the IBM leased / 360-30 from a storage terminal. From 64 K at IBM was no more. ITLE supplied and installed the memory size to 96 K. Then went on climbing any more.
a letter dated 12/14/1972 had the IBM office retail and services (signature iV Stulle) succinctly that the maintenance "of the unchanged part of the central entity within the technical field sales, IBM Germany resources available virtually impossible "is. This was associated with the call, . To remove the change and the original state of the machine to restore ... to continue the lease with us in order to "hook
passed the ball to ITLE, asking in a letter dated 29 December 1972 (Signature: Dr. Reichel ) "in direct contact with the IBM office Stuttgart ensure that maintenance of the rented from us IBM machine / ensures 360-30.
The sales manager of Germany-ITLE, Jürgen Selig made short work and went into court . In a thirty-page document, IBM was accused of "a dominant undertaking" a competitor "disabled unfair to have" interim value of the claim. 160 000 Mark. to prohibit this practice by the IBM injunction: the demand ITLE lawyers. This happened on 4 January 1973.
A day later, the 3rd in line Commercial Court of the District Court Stuttgart (Presiding Judge Dr. Becker) the TITLE-suggestion.
In the interim (Reference 3 04/73 KfH Kart) was ordered to continue the maintenance on Velcro, for each breach Geödstrafen threatened in unlimited amounts, but at least 500,000 marks.
was the first time in the Federal Republic of Germany secured the courts, that the IBM "dominant company within the meaning of § 26GWB is. At the same time their "discrimination within the meaning of § 26, Section 2 of the ARC "certified.
That was IBM too much. The comparison came as fast as the process.
The whole thing was more show than business. IBM, the issue played to their customers down to a lower management levels, ITLE Manager Selig conceded Although a lot of pats on the business's but gave more setbacks. The lion's share of the fine pocketed the lawyers.

Chapter II: 10.0 Night and Fog


William C. Norris, founder CDC, 1984

What started with a paper tiger, ended in the paper Wolf. The American news magazine Newsweek reported it in his edition of 1 October 1973:.. "It started at 16.00 clock in the steel and glass palace of the Control Data headquarters in a suburb of Minneapolis, worked over two dozen people under the supervision of nervous lawyers you opened file cabinets, attracted thousands of published documents and stuffing them in boxes. They emptied the tape library and collected microfilms. While the cold January afternoon turned into a chilly Minnesota morning, went on, the terrible work. The boxes were loaded onto a truck and taken to an incinerator .(...) The tapes were unwound between two magnets, the To delete stored data, tilted the microfilms in deep green garbage cans and then treated with Clorox bleach. At 2:00 clock in the morning it was over. The lawyers shook hands, ending one of the strangest chapters in the history of the American economy. "
The night-fighting command was not part of the comparison. Although it was the prerequisite. Only after this action was the transaction that is mutually proved to be extremely profitable.
IBM assured market and image. CDC gained through the acquisition of the Service Bureau Corporation new market potential and is still in the U.S. time-share business in 1st place
Bill Norris' Control Data Corporation is the only company that succeeded, IBM, to move towards the wall. There is no telling what would have happened if we had given the address of the antitrust authorities. Certainly all the ongoing processes were completed. But CDC was himself the next. It was necessary to defend the niche market of which they lived. The process is not their business. Their business is data processing.
That she knew this business was proven by the database. The profit motive triumphed over the potential legal. This proves that despite monopolistic features of this market regulates itself. Or is it the arrangement with the Giants, to resist, no one survives?

between complaint and accusation was Bill Norris is not idle. Despite red figures, he founded the house "Norris Bank," in which he deposited as securities 150 000 anti-IBM documents. This database rejoined IBM in fear and terror.
They documented not only the performance of CDC specialists and computers, it meant immediate danger from direct access. Why? Control Data had succeeded, a mountain of paper weighing several tonnes (40 million documents), the antitrust authorities had aufgebait against IBM to resolve computer needs. The processed data would in the hands reduced from plaintiffs any proceedings against IBM. In the event of litigation in the U.S. it is customary that the applicants look at each other in the cards and replace them if necessary.
But Norris appealed alone. His trick: He allowed the enemy, the IBM, look at its data match, which was more irritated now behind closed doors. Goal of IBM to buy the game to win on. The stakes were enormous. One could imagine him behind the gentle tones that IBM struck suddenly in the public only. In order to "avoid costly Rechtsstreiterein" (as an IBM spokesman), they spared no expense. It was a wise comparison. The price was comparatively high. 250 million Dollars. Payment was in cash and property. Thus, the Service Bureau Corporation went to CDC. Consideration. Control Data Control Data gave up.

Chapter II: 8.0 sound and smoke

It started with smoke and mirrors. It ended in darkness and fog. A case that made history: Cintrol Data (CDC) against IBM. More than that: a game of poker in which a quarter of a billion dollars was set against a database. Poker Face, William (Bill) C. Norris, president of CDC.
It began in 1964. In the delivery of comprehensive / 360 system, in which the computing world forward to the new generation waited, CDC tilled very successful, a market segment with the highly skilled, scientific calculator CDC 6600th With this system, dominated the multiprogramming and was designed for time-sharing, CDC joined a market gap that IBM had overlooked. Fully attuned to commercial, neglected the / 360 part of the scientific mainframe computer market so strong that Control Data sold not only, but also deserved. She was thus the first company to IBM, which ran the computer business at a profit. The idea was so simple that IBM would have been proud. For it was obvious. Two things settled, the CDC strategists:
- So far, no manufacturer in the upper range of technological and scientific applications targeted action.
- This area required minimal amount of software support, as scientists have developed their own software.
This strategy was so successful that IBM was nervous, which were by the / 360 situation already been attacked. comes to the motto "on a model now it no longer even announced they jauntily to the largest computer in the world.. the IBM 360-90 The early birth was dizzy addicted and never came out of the incubator But CDC got into a headlock. The 6600 jobs that Control Data had almost certainly been changed. In 1966, the company was in the red. Meanwhile, the waiting / 360-90-Purchaser on the delivery of the ordered trick box. In vain. The delivery dates were not implemented, ignoring the benefit plans, and with a nachgeschobenen / 360-91 was again battered image. The wind machines CDC gave a new impetus was given to doc h is still not satisfied. The new flight of CDC boss Norris was arrogant. "God damn, we will sue IBM," he swore end of 1968. So far he had only provoked. "IBM is out to ruin us. You can publish calm," he told a reporter.
