Last week's trivia answer
I was founded in 1906 in Rochester, N.Y., as The Haloid Co., and I got my current name in 1961. Today, based in Connecticut, I'm the world's premiere document-management company, employing more than 50,000 worldwide, including a female CEO. I rake in about $16 billion annually, and I spend nearly a billion dollars per year on research and development. Among other things, I offer printers, digital presses, multifunction devices, digital copiers, supplies, software and support. I hold more than 8,000 active U.S. patents. I've recently been named one of America's most admired companies. Who am I?
