You left out Control Data. I spent many, many hours on a 6600. BTW, a
byte was 6 bits ;-)

All this reminiscing about Burroughs reminds me that when I began work
in
the EDP (whoops, IT) field in the mid-'60's, the mainframe world (and
there
really was no other then) was said to consist of Big Blue and the Seven
Dwarfs. Big Blue of course was (and is) IBM. I believe 6 of the 7 dwarfs
consisted of the following:

Burroughs
Univac
NCR
Honeywell
GE
RCA

Do I have this right and what was the 7th?
