  "You Can Build a Mainframe... by naqoyqatsi2004-12-14 01:24:49
    Corrected mainframe company names by HeyRef 2004-12-14 08:09:02
The lyrics posted there are close, but they've butchered the chorus. Here's how it really goes:

IBM, DEC, and Honeywell, HP, DG, and Wang
Amdahl, NEC, and NCR, they don't know anything
They make big bucks for systems so they never want it known
That you can build a mainframe from the things you find at home

Where DEC and NEC are pronounced "deck" and "neck". All other acronyms are spelled out as they are sung (Eye-bee-em for instance). I've got a recording of the song somewhere.
