We would like your comments and reactions to this film restoration of IBM’s automated office vision for 1983. This promotional film shows the IBM DISPLAYWRITER dedicated word processing system, introduced in 1980. DISPLAYWRITER was a 16-bit microcomputer, with 8 inch floppy diskettes and limited file compatibility with IBM’s other office systems. Cost was over $8,000, equivalent to nearly $25,000 today. How does this compare with today's office worker's environment?
The more versatile IBM PC introduced in 1982, was less expensive and more successful, and could run IBM’s “Displaywrite” software. IBM PC sales completely overtook the Displaywriter, which was eventually discontinued by IBM in 1986.
In 1984, IBM announced "DisplayWrite/3" software for the IBM PC, with similar functions to the Displaywriter’s software, making the more expensive Displaywriter non-competitive in the market.
This color promo film (C) IBM shows some of the other IBM office products being used and promoted during the early 1980's. Mentioned are the IBM 8100, IBM Laser Printer/Copier, IBM PC, and others.
