You’re welcome to use ANY COMPANY today, that made more than Apple in today’s money. That way, since everyone is compared to “today’s money” ... It will be equal footing.
I don’t think these news agencies will be able to find anyone ... either ... in today’s money ... LOL ...
Good luck hunting ... :-) ...
Well, that's mighty generous of you, considering that I should be welcome to use "any company ever", since that's what's being claimed.
