On a lighter note, I find it rather humorous that
when Sperry, purveyor of 36-bit word machines,
and Burroughs, purveyor of 48-bit word (and also
bit-variable word-length) machines combined, they
managed to pick a catchphrase absolutely antithetical
to both product lines.

Well, I guess the do base 2 arithmetic, but wait, didn't
the Univacs use ones-comp, or was it only classic
CDC machines???
