On: Hitachi to buy GlobalLogic for $9.6B

> not for IT division though

The only reason I know that company name is because I think they sold hard drives in the past, and/or showed up on my BIOS screen. So maybe IT people know it too.

Didn’t Hitachi get sued for making a clone of an IBM mainframe? That case set the stage for the PC clone market.

Oh yeah, ther storage definitely is relatively more famous.

I personally knew Hitachi first by their elevators/lifts.

They also build trains and ... personal massagers.

The personal massager. After 53 years of sales it's still very well regarded.
