I just hope that when Ford fails or is sold off, they don’t screw with Mazda. That is one car company that “gets it”. I shudder to think what would happen if one of the “car as an appliance” companies like Toyota or Nissan or Etc. got hold of them.

Don’t go messin’ with my Zoom Zoom!

I was surprised to see Motorola on that list. I thought they had a big Govt. business with cop radios and so forth. I did not know they had their lunch eaten in the cell business either.

Oh well. Heck this stuff happens all the time. Remember RCA? Been gone over 20 years. Lots of companies we used to think would last forever are gone.

I half expected to see Kodak on the short list of soon to be ex companies.

The RCA brand is still alive and kicking here in Canada, but I don’t think they do the manufacturing themselves.
