It's notably that Apple at 2000, was dying. So bad that Steve Job had to
bargained with his nemesis, Bill Gates. Since 1984, many epitaphs have been
written for Apple. In 2015, Apple is now the largest company in the world
(*cautious people always jump in and say - for now - *).

Wasn't Leica in trouble in the late 40s until they came out with the Leica
M3?

Wasn't Leica "close to death" in the 70s with the onslaught of the SLR
(without the 'd')?

Didn't Leica become irrelevant in the mid 2000s because everyone has gone
digital?

Leica may be gone by end of 2015, or may be it will surprise everyone
again. We shall see...
