Is that why IBM was called "Big Blue"?


"Big Blue" was called that because the cover panels on all their
computer equipment was blue,unless you special ordered another color.
Sometimes the companies I worked for bought used equipment and once or
twice we got a red box or a yellow box. You could buy new blue panels
if you wanted all to match.
