Re: Let's see your Volvo (The Photo Thread)

RealNetworks, for a brief window of time, was worth almost as much as Apple. [By my math it was within a couple % of market cap.] Yes, you read that correctly. This was around 2000, and Apple was in that very ill stage you read about, between their debut in the 1970s and today. Steve Jobs had return...
