BUNCH

BUNCH

In den 60er Jahren gab es acht Computerunternehmen, die Schneewittchen und die sieben Zwerge genannt wurden. IBM war das Schneewittchen, die Zwerge waren Burroughs, UNIVAC, NCR (National Cash Register), Control Data, Honeywell, RCA (Radio Corporation of America) und General Electric.

1970 verkaufte General Electric seine Computersparte an Honeywell. 1971 wurde der Computerbereich von RCA eingestellt. Die Initialen der verblieben Zwerge lauteten "BUNCH". Es steht für Burroughs, UNIVAC, NCR, Control Data und Honeywell.

In den 1980er und 1990er Jahren löste sich BUNCH auf: Univac wurde von Burroughs übernommen, es entstand Unisys; Control Data stellte den Computerbau ein und Honeywell verkaufte die Computersparte an Bull Computer.
