Well, that's not right. I haven't used a Holga, but I have used a Diana, and the Diana couldn't even cover the whole width of the roll. You didn't get 6x6 even, more like 4x4.
Burnett is also responsible for popularizing the Kodak Aero Ektar lens, to the point where a good one now goes for crazy money on ebay.
