Motorola also used to make microchips. They made a fair bit of money from the Motorola 68000, a little chip that just happened to be the CPU of the Commodore Amiga, one of the most (in)famous and best selling home computers of all time.

Motor-ola
edit : yup, i was right, Their first product was a battery eliminator when their company was named Galvin Manufcaturing Corporation and then changed their name to Motorola when their car radios became commercially successfull
