If you could save one tech company from going under....
Which one would it be?
I'd personally have to say Commodore - I'd love to see what Workbench (AmigaOS) would have become on proper x86 (and eventually x86-64) PCs.

Probably Intelevision, but just because the developers are so totally awesome.
I'd love to get my hands on an Odyssey 2 again, though.

If Microsoft was going under, I would save them. But... they doing well kind of. #_#;
Anyways... I would save Packard Bell, and don't ask why. >_<;
Also I would save Sega's console days if given the chance. ^_^;

I don't know that much about computer companies but if one was going under I would save the little guy's company.

Bethesda, assuming if it would actually go under.
I plan on working there one day.

RE: If you could save one tech company from going under....
It's a little off topic, but I still have the Timex Sinclair computer my husband used years ago. I think he had to connect it to the TV set. It was about the size of a hardback book and maybe an inch to an inch and a half thick. Since this was from about 1984 I imagine it doesn't have as much memory as today's cell phones. It's probably most useful as a paperweight.

The tech company I would save is my 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. I use them at some point each day for counting something or another (really.)

Don't laugh, Amstrad, I really enjoyed my 128K COLOUR Amstrad computer. I had to pay for it under hirepurchase as I was just out of school. Although I am sure Sir Alan Sugar isn't going to go broke any time soon. LOL

Rule 2. Refer to rule 1.

For purely selfish reasons, Kesmai and it's game service, Gamestorm.
10 hours of work as a GM per week got me free AOL (meh), unlimited gameplay (yay), a VIP pass every year to GenCon including free dinner and drinks (top shelf stuff).
The tech company i would most like to see fail is EA, for related reasons.

I'm quite the opposite - if I could make one company go under, it'd be MS.

One of these?
That one is from my own collection.

EA seems to be losing money.
I believe god made us in his image.
I also believe god is a monkey.
