> seemingly unconditional refusal to explore technology companies

Don't forget they bought a truckload of IBM in 2015, leaving everyone scratching their heads. Probably lots of IBM'ers on here with better insight, but from the outside it appeared they were pooping where they slept: selling off hardware units, dabbling badly in cloud, offshoring key consulting operations and in general hurting their brand. Of course Berkshire sold it all in 2018 and bought more Apple.

Please tell me they didn't think IBM was a consumer company, as an alternate play to Apple in the same space as Apple? Right now it seems to be a poor services company.
