1.which comapany is known as "Big Blue" and which is known as "Big Black".
Big blue : IBM
Big Black: ????

2Why the product named Epsom salt is so famous?
In 1618 a farmer at Epsom in England attempted to give his cows water, but they refused to drink it due to its sour/bitter taste. However the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The fame of Epsom salts then began to spread.
Epsom salt was originally prepared by boiling down mineral waters at Epsom, England, and later prepared from sea water. In modern times, these salts are obtained from certain minerals such as epsomite.
