>>His die-hard shareholders? Ended up with shit. Except with a building in New York called the RCA center. RCA didn't fold. It was taken over by General Electric. RCA had plenty of valuable assets when it was bought, most notably NBC. RCA rented its space in the RCA building from Rockefeller Center. It's now the named the GE Building, and GE rents, too. You are right that RCA's venture into computing was disappointing. RCA was the first company to champion distribited computing, the "octiputer." Trouble for RCA (and NCR and others) was the fact the IBM had a stranglehold on data processing in the 60's.
