Hitachi and IBM merged their disk drives groups, into
a new co-owned company, Hitachi Global Storage
Technologies (www.hgst.com). DEC was bought by
Compaq, ergo HP. DG was bought by EMC.

I'm trying to think of all the really old
computer
companies that are
still in business. GE and Honeywell no longer make
computers. DEC and DG
are gone. So there's HP, IBM, Bull... are there
any others left from
way-back-when? Oh yeah, there's Siemens. And
Amdahl's part of Fujitsu
now. Do they still count? I guess Fujitsu probably
counts on its own
merits. Hitachi and Toshiba left the industry
recently, after many years.
And then there's Unisys, with their recent turn to
weird hybrid systems.
Did I miss anyone?
