Old Computer Companies - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

2 Feb 2003

Someone mentioned C3 the other day.  That translates to Convergent
Technologies.  I thing Burroughs bought them in the late 80's.  I cut my
teeth on C3 gear.  At age 8 I was an expert at crashing the Coast Guard
mini in Saulte Ste. Marie, Michigan.

Regards,

Jeff

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

 still in business.  GE and Honeywell no longer make computers.  DEC and DG

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.
