Real- shudder another overhyped industry(streaming).
SGI- probably good until MS gutted them for patents and IP.
Macromedia- Oops yes they'd be a good purchase. They have their Golden Goose Egg in Flash.

They would also acquire all BEos technology.
If Apple tried to buy all the issued stock for a company, then the stock prices would skyrocket. This is basic economics, folks.
