Chapter II: 10.0 Night and Fog


William C. Norris, founder CDC, 1984

What started with a paper tiger, ended in the paper Wolf. The American news magazine Newsweek reported it in his edition of 1 October 1973:.. "It started at 16.00 clock in the steel and glass palace of the Control Data headquarters in a suburb of Minneapolis, worked over two dozen people under the supervision of nervous lawyers you opened file cabinets, attracted thousands of published documents and stuffing them in boxes. They emptied the tape library and collected microfilms. While the cold January afternoon turned into a chilly Minnesota morning, went on, the terrible work. The boxes were loaded onto a truck and taken to an incinerator .(...) The tapes were unwound between two magnets, the To delete stored data, tilted the microfilms in deep green garbage cans and then treated with Clorox bleach. At 2:00 clock in the morning it was over. The lawyers shook hands, ending one of the strangest chapters in the history of the American economy. "
The night-fighting command was not part of the comparison. Although it was the prerequisite. Only after this action was the transaction that is mutually proved to be extremely profitable.
IBM assured market and image. CDC gained through the acquisition of the Service Bureau Corporation new market potential and is still in the U.S. time-share business in 1st place
Bill Norris' Control Data Corporation is the only company that succeeded, IBM, to move towards the wall. There is no telling what would have happened if we had given the address of the antitrust authorities. Certainly all the ongoing processes were completed. But CDC was himself the next. It was necessary to defend the niche market of which they lived. The process is not their business. Their business is data processing.
That she knew this business was proven by the database. The profit motive triumphed over the potential legal. This proves that despite monopolistic features of this market regulates itself. Or is it the arrangement with the Giants, to resist, no one survives?
