Line 233:
* After having some issues with Disney, Jeffrey Katzenberg left and went on to help form [[Dreamworks Animation]], which has been climbing on up since its founding.
* After Freedom Group moved Bushmaster production to New York (with disastrous consequences for quality) they left behind the old facilities and skilled workers, who promptly founded Windham Weaponry.
* Zilog, a chipmaker which made the processors for a few early desktop computers (Sinclair ZX81, Radio Shack TRS80, most of the CP/M machines), was founded by former Intel workers. Its Z80 chip would recogniserecognised the entirefull Intel 8080 eight-bit instruction set (and expanded upon it), but there were hardware differences between the products by design. The 1981 introduction of the IBM 5150 PC soon tilted the balance back to Intel, as it used Intel's 8088 processor (and its successors used the 80x86 processor series).
* World Outgames, an international athletic competition, was first held in Montréal in 2006 after that city's supposedly-successful bid to host the rival Gay Games broke down due to [[Executive Meddling]] by the parent organisation (Federation of Gay Games). The event was held in 2006 (Montréal), 2009 (Copenhagen) and 2013 (Antwerp) but went broke in 2017 (Miami).
