Don't know how the makers of SR came to call a Redmond-based, gates-family-owned company "Microdeck", but Apple did survive splendidly. Well, at least as splendid as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARES does, however. See for yourself in the ARES entry of CD.


...ok...let's calm down...this is not the time to panic.....

WHAT AM I SAYING?! THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO PANIC!!!

It's even mentioned how Microsoft becomes Microdeck, but I can't remember where...

And technically speaking, the company is AZ Technology...but that's still scary enough...

Yeah, I learned that from watching Kenshin.

But ORO is also the name of the corp that bought out the collapsed Mexican government and became Aztechnology.

There's a japanese company called Iron Mountain or something like that, which IIRC translates as Yamatetsu.

Iron Mountain is also a physical storage company here in the states, referring to an old iron ine they bought and converted into storage. Guess what is on top of the mine...
