Unisys ICON
The ICON was a computer built specifically for use in schools, to fill a standard created by the Ontario education ministry. They were widely used, mostly in high schools in the mid- to late 1980s, but disappeared after that time with the widespread introduction of PCs and Apple Macintoshes. They were also known as the CEMCorp ICON, Burroughs ICON, and finally Unisys ICON as the design moved from company to company through the development process and company merger. To its users, the machine was known as the bionic beaver.
