Best Answer

Actually any commercial computer by anybody that could be named was before IBM. Watson Sr. saw little future in electronic computing and did not want to build fast machines that would obsolete their Electromechanical Unit Record line. It took Watson Jr. and the Korean War to push IBM into making their first "commercial" compuuter: the Scientific IBM 701. Their first two true commercial computers: The IBM 650 and IBM 702 were introduced a year or two after the IBM 701.
