20 years ago is only 1991-1992 (it being nearly 2012 and all), theres loads of tech companies still around although many are not doing what they were doing back then.
Texas Instruments - I still have my TI99/4A HP - 1939 Dell - 1984 AGFA - Made my scanner, figure that counts Samsung - Made my monitor Epson - Made my printer Kodak - Made my digital camera Motorola - Made my phone Sony - Made the stack of DV tapes on my desk and the cameras that shot them JVC - Made my VCR Magnavox - Made my DVD player Pioneer - Made my Tuner/amp But yeah 20 years is forever in tech terms. -Curt Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:27:32 -0600 From: Mountain Man <[email protected]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] GM diesel shortcomings Message-ID: <calk3cy6qbqwmte1q0stuj3vfwubqsuveita3xvnytxomppy...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dieselhead wrote: > 3, 4, and 5 sound just like Micro$oft method of operating. Speaking of which... There are probably very few tech firms today that were also here 20 years ago. The story was that facebook will be having their privacy policy audited twice each year for the next 20 years. In tech, 20 years is the same as eternity, yet MS is still here. Are there any others? Apple is still here, Autodesk too, but many of the others have been bought in to other companies from 20 years ago. And CP/M is completely gone, no? - I used Epson CP/M before MS. mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
