- oblio 10y agoThat's true, but I still can't shake the feeling that a ton more actual money cycled through Powerpoint (and Word, Excel, etc.) than Snapchat or Instagram will ever make. I could be wrong.
- giarc 10y agoYes, but with PPT, Excel, Word you bought it once and then no longer paid MS any more (until a new version of Office came out). With Snapchat/IG you advertise to your user forever.
- AmVess 10y agoCrazy, right? It's barely even an accounting error (0.02%) of the Dell/EMC deal.
- philjohn 10y agoRoughly $30m in 2016 dollars, still not a lot, but this was back in 1987, which was still before computers were as ubiquitous as they are now.
