1. Introduction
 Part of the VIP Club history/legacy/heritage is traced to Burroughs which purchased Sperry in 1986 to form UNited Information SYStems. 
 
1.1 Products 
Marketing and Field Service functions for all Burroughs products continued in the Twin Cities from the late 40s until the 80s.  Then their support was combined in a new building at 3199 Pilot Knob Road in Eagan, across the parking lot from the Sperry Defense operations which became a part of Lockheed Martin MS2. 
 
This is referred to as the 'MACS' building in VIP Club literature as we have volunteers serving at Blood Mobile drives. [lab]
