Interesting, since Interdata -> Perkin-Elmer -> Concurrent was absorbed
by Harris's computer operations. Harris was at one time
a Masscomp OEM. Modcomp was a Concurrent competitor.
Concurrent absorbed Masscomp. Harris absorbed Concurrent.

The only computer company I worked for still really in existance in
