Sperry-UNIVAX was also known for excelling at making people
feel unhappy out of place and then going out to fund its own little
startup (Control Data)

The Philadelphia part of Sperry (UNIVAC) was better connected
to the New York HQ of Sperry -> they got there way most of the time
and the Minneapolis part went sour.
