Yahoo, Compuserve, AOL, Gateway Computers, Nokia, SEGA, Blockbuster, KMart, and countless more medium-large business that didn't have a strategy for the technology shift.

Yes, good list, and plenty of others too like Blackberry, Palm, Digg, MySpace, IBM, Blockbuster, etc etc
friendster, napster, yellow pages, arcades, Pontiac, Saturn, JNCO, geocities, iomega, Sun Microsystems, CREATIVE. So many bodies...
And DEC.
If Kmart is on the list, Sears obviously should be as well.
For sure, these are just a sample of companies that failed to maneuver the tech disruption or economic shifts.
DEC was a major tech and originator of a lot of very important tech, and they got gobbled up in the late 90s.
