I don't know who you're talking about, but Orange Micro went out of business in 2004. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Micro )

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but he means Apple.

It was more an attempt at light humor than sarcasm. :-)

(Not to mention I thought it was hard to imagine anybody around here being unaware of the most capitalized company in the world. Aside from maybe Saudi Aramco.)

Heh... I knew my Slashdot ID was pretty low (~32K), but had no idea I'd been around here that long. Now I feel old. :-)

Speaking of old, I used Reddit as my main news source for a while, and I remember /r/programming having a post celebrating 65,536 users. Now it's over 10 times that, and there are more than three subreddits.
