"While it is common to associate mainframe computers with IBM, the reality is that several manufacturers produced mainframe computers from the late 1950s through the 1970s. The group of manufacturers was often referred to as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". In that context, Snow White was IBM and the seven dwarfs were Burroughs, UNIVAC, NCR, Control Data Corporation, Honeywell, General Electric and RCA. IBM will likely be a major player in the emerging generation of mainframe computing. However, this time its competition will come from giant competitors, not dwarfs."

So if snow white was considered IBM, does that also include Bill Gates?
I thought DEC (Digital Equipment Corp) would have been part of that? They made some slick mainframes in the 80's too.
I was thinking the same thing. It's odd they didn't make the list. I have some fond memories of hijinks on DEC mainframes. ;-)
My introduction to Basic and computing was through a friend who worked for them. I used to visit him at work; very cool.
Interesting take. One has to believe Gates is a major target.
