How many tech companies have withstood a 70% drop in revenue? BlackBerry comes to mind.

The tech industry has plenty of companies with laughable revenue compared to their investment capital, I'm sure those will be fine.

Not suggesting they won't be! I'm just curious about historical cases.

30% over 4 years from their peak. Still a pretty big drop. (RIM/BlackBerry has been a 95% drop over 9 years, and hasn't stopped yet, but looks to be levelling off.)
