While surfing the Unisys websight, I found nearly NO mention of either
Burroughs or Univac.
One more reason to like IBM.

Dubious claim dept:
"1965 Sperry introduces the 1108, the first multiprocessor computer."
Is there an earlier multiprocessor than the Burroughs D825? (1963)

How about BINAC. Okay, there was only one produced and the

but it was a dual processor system.

Hmm, a lot of dubious information there. They depend on a lot of arguable
definitions to make "first" claims.
