   Recent history is littered with companies like this. The microcomputer   
   revolution spawned scores of companies that started in someone's garage,   
   ballooned to major presence overnight, and then disappeared - bankrupt,   
   bought out, split up, etc. Look at all the players in the S-100 CP/M   
   space, or Digital Research. Only a few, like Apple and Microsoft, made   
   it out alive.
