Selling its shares in Arm Ltd kept it afloat at one point, I believe. Who or what else?

    Oh not that tired old lie. :-( It's bullsh1t. It's not true. It wasn't an "investment". Microsoft stole Apple code and used it in Video for Windows. It got caught. Apple took MS to court and was going to win, so it settled. The marketing-lizards span this as "investing" but it's not true. https://www.zdnet.com/article/stop-the-lies-the-day-that-microsoft-saved-apple/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/stop-the-lies-the-day-that-mic...

      Not only I walk this planet since the 1970's, I lived through this "lie" on all key publications of the time, and I used the Cult of Mac site on purpose, exactly because I was expecting that reply of yours.

        Good for you. Since the 1960s here, myself. I just barely remember the first moon landing. It's still a lie, no matter how many people believe it. Compare with the flat earthers, or people who use homeopathy, or all religions. The code was stolen and used improperly by the San Francisco Canyon Company. It's all a matter of historical record.
