Subject: | Brand Names and Current Day Corps... |

I got to thinking today as I created a new character about Brand Names from
RL in the games, Like Honda, Harley Davidson, Sony, and the like...
What exactly has happened to todays brand names, and who owns them all? I
know some of these are answered in the Corp book, but since I don;t have
that, and there are a lot that aren't answered in there, humor me please.
So... Who owns all of today's corps that are still used in SR? Are they
owned by one of the big 10, or one of the slightly smaller 100, or are they
independantly owned?
I'm thinking specifically of:
All the Gun companies (Walther, Colt, Beretta, Browning, Remington, Ruger,
etc)
Electronics Companies (Yamaha, Sony, Kodak, Radio Shack)
The Car Companies (GMC, Ford, Rolls-Royce, Nissan)
Those are just some of the names pulled out of the FoF book, and I know
tehre are a lot more still around, that have cropped up in other
sourcebooks and in the novels...
I was just wondering if anyone had ever sat down and tried to track some of
the bigger names from today and see who's still around in 2058, or just
made up a list and assigned names, or whatever...
Guess my curiosity got the better of me, and I felt that I needed another
On Topic post to balance out the off topic stuff...:]
