&quot;Nintendo was founded as a card company in late 1889...&quot;, sure, but then by the next century FB main business model will probably be about gene engineering, not software.<p>In all fairness, I listed IBM and I can&#x27;t imagine people referred to it as a &quot;software&quot; company in 1911, even if it was within the &#x27;computing industry&#x27; such as it was back then.
