The company got bought out many times over again. But the name was McCormack & Dodge back then. First, they got acquired by Dun & Bradstreet and became Dun & Bradstreet Software, but then D&B made a royal mess of beautifully engineered and pioneering software, acquired our main competitor and tried to stuff us all together like kissing cousins. It was a blood feud and shortly thereafter failed and was reacquired in pieces by a Canadian firm. Watch the show 'Halt and Catch Fire'. It wasn't us, but it was like watching it all enfold all over again. Just wonderful (never to be repeated), but awful all at the same time. These tech wars continue as we have recently seen with the demise of the MyTona/G5 collaboration. No one ever learns. A lot of short term gains can ruin a great thing.

I just thought it was funny that I read about a rather small town (for Massechusettes) and that I had actually spent lots of time there. Before Natick, they were next door in Framingham LOL - El
