Created by DigitalIceAge (talk). Self-nominated at 02:35, 9 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/CompuSource; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

It was hard for me to make a connection between the seized computers and the release of an IBM compatible but I did. The article is new enough and long enough; it is also neutral. The QPQ is done and the article is free of copyright violations. The article has the correct inline citations and the hook is interesting. Bruxton (talk) 04:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
