IBM and the seven dwarfs was a phrase from the mid-'60s, when IBM ruled the
market.
By 1965 IBM had a 65.3 percent market share; the seven dwarfs shared the
rest.
This month's tale concerns Burroughs Corp., one of the dwarfs; the others
were
Sperry Rand (formerly Remington Rand), Control Data, Honeywell, General
Electric,
RCA, and NCR.
