[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 513763, member: 250"] Not really... IBM were a significant mainframe computer company, who also got involved at the start of the desktop PC boom, with their own BIOS/DOS & utilising a lot of standard off-the-shelf hardware for sale to both business and domestic markets... Markets which then became flooded with numerous other companies offering IBM compatible PC's and the alternative Apple computers, etc.. etc.. Finally selling off their personal computer division to Lenovo.. IBM is still a significant going concern, probably more behind the scenes within the world of IT & The Internet... getting involved in stuff like Cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence.. etc.. (you probably need to google all of the pies that IBM still have some fingers in). Whereas since 1956 the NICEIC was and still is, just a trades body offering services to contractors who are willing to pay to become a member.. NICEIC have never been a manufacture changing the market sectors they work in.... Just a trade association amending some of there criteria as wiring regulations or other guidance or laws become applicable in the UK. :C [/QUOTE]
