- SwellJoe 17y agoEMC is one of those quietly explosively successful companies that nobody knows anything about, but brings in billions in revenues. I was holding Data General stock when they were acquired by EMC, and sold it soon after (just before a precipitous drop due to the tech crash), but I've often considered buying again. Not entirely relevant, I guess, but I think I'd like to know more about the EMC story, now that I think of it. In its early days it was a stunningly sure-footed tiny player, in a field of giants, and they came out the other side of the battle a giant themselves. I aspire to that sort of story for my own ventures.
