What?? No! Really? I had no idea... I always pointed it out to visitors. Sorta sad! But I guess time moves on.

I wonder how many people in 60 years will remember some of the major tech companies of today. Already Sun microsystems is fading from memory... How long does Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon have?

Who remembers RCA today, once the biggest corporation in America?

RCA, at least in name, is still around. But it's just a licensing company that licenses the name to other manufacturers.
