Founded by two Stanford classmates in 1939, I'm a global leader in computer printers, shipping more than a million each week, along with nearly 50 million computers each year. My first product was an audio oscillator that Walt Disney Studios used for its film, "Fantasia." I spend $3.5 billion per year on research and development, and produce about 11 patents per day worldwide. I power more than 130 of the world's stock exchanges. My software runs more than 100 million cell phones. I merged with Compaq in 2000 and rake in almost $120 billion annually.
Who am I?
Last Week's Trivia Answer: I'm a global leader in records management and have been storing boxes of documents for companies since 1951. My founder was once known as the "Mushroom King" in upstate New York, where he grew fungi.
I rake in about $3 billion annually from my 120,000-plus customers. I also store electronic data, computer disks and tapes, microfilm, audio and video tapes, X-rays and blueprints. I can retrieve -- or destroy -- whichever records you want. My disaster recovery division can back up your data and store it off-site.
You might call me Ferrous Peak. Who am I? (Answer: Iron Mountain)
