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?

Regards, Eric Bender
