I'm trying to think of all the really old computer

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?
Sure... SGI and Sun.
Are they even in the lame league as being old enough? Most of the
companies I listed (DG and HP are the major exceptions) have been making
systems since the '50s.
Ah, sorry. I missed the "really old computer companies" part of your
original query. Are any of the early UK based companies still in
business?
