I've been feeling down in the dumps all day, depressed about life in general, and I've just discovered thanks to you that watching videos of Richard Feynmann cheer me up. Thank you.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I hear IBM came third. (At 99 years old they squeaked in). They almost had as much revenue as Apple in 2010. Nintendo (at 123 years old) is no longer a startup and is no longer eligible.

Damn you, sir! You sent me on an awesome trip looking around for the oldest companies. Few are older than a few centuries, most are Japanese (others are European), small and restaurants, hotels or breweries. All are fascinating.
