I have been curious about the fate of a few major corporations in
shadowrun. I suspect that they have been ignored because they don't make
anything interesting to runners, but I find it difficult to beleive that
evry corp. on the planet in 2055 deals exclusivly in computers, munitions,
or security guards. So here is my list of What ever Happened to these guys?

The Coca Cola/Minute Maid conglomerate

IBM

Eastman Kodak

Phillip Morris

Dow chemical

RJ Reynolds

Nabisco

More as I think of them....

Merged with Beatrice and Taco Bell, then split along different
lines and purchased by various corps.

I think they still exist in Atlanta?

> IBM

I think they merged with some Asian company? In any case, they bought the
Sears Tower and had it blown up by Alamos 20,000. This created the
Shattergraves in Chicago. This is all in the Neo-Anarchist`s guide to
North America. The Chicago stuff is reprinted in Bug City.
