MANY companies were quite bad at making a go of
the computer business.
Xerox is probably legendary, but GE and RCA were certainly also famous
for this.? Honeywell made a LOT of computers in various forms -
aerospace, minicomputer, industrial controls, etc.? But, I guess they
were incompetent at competing with IBM in the large systems market.
They were included in the BUNCH, however.
"BUNCH"? Never heard that one
before. "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" was the term I always heard.
