I dunno about going strong. $1,000 in Microsoft stock in 1990 would have made you a multi-millionaire today. $1,000 in IBM stock in 1990 would make you a ten-thousandaire today.

apples to oranges comparison. 1990 is early days for MS. 1990 is gorilla days for IBM.
For reference, IBM was founded in 1911. At the time "computer" was a profession, not a machine, and the majority of US households had no electricity or telephone service
