FOlks know about IBM,

Hitachi are missed. , Super computer is forever linked with Cray, but
Control Data, Thinking Machines, Silicon Graphics, and even Sun are no
more remembered.
Oh, IBM, DEC, and Honeywell; HP, DG and Wang
Amdahl, NEC, and NCR, they don't know anything
They make big bucks for systems, so they never want it known
That you can build a mainframe from the things you find at home
