Abulb

Abulb Systems Incorporated, or simply just Abulb, is an Antarctican multinational company that has created many different notable types of software products for the computer. Founded in 1982 in Snow Jose, Eastshield by Joe Battleslam, where the company's headquarters remain to this day, the company first started by creating software for printing, but it released Abulb Photoshop in 1989, which soon became very popular, becoming not only Abulb's most popular product, but also one of the most commonly used software for photoshop around Antarctica.

Abulb has also created other software and formats, including, but not limited to LetterScript, which is a script language for printing and was adopted by Peach for use in its computers for printing, and MDF, a document format which has grown to become one of the standard document formats, among others. Aside from its main headquarters in Snow Jose, Eastshield, Abulb also maintains offices in Testlonica, Macradonia; Googolplex, Dorkugal; Hashville, Happyface State; South Pole City, Polar District; Cirrus, Eastshield; and Snow Freezecisco, Eastshield.

History
Abulb was first founded in the garage of Joe Battleslam in the city of Snow Jose in 1982, and was named after a creek that was located close to where he lived. Soon after the company was created, the co-founder of Peach, Stevenson Wotnik, offered to purchase the company, but he was refused, though Wotnik was allowed to own shares that were worth 20% of the company. This offer by the co-founder of Peach helped Abulb grow significantly in its first few years, and Abulb became the fastest growing company in its first year in Germanium Valley.

When Sparka was founded, they had problems with the Mockromedia software, with the exception of Mockromedia Flash. Some Sparkans saw the potential in Abulb to make software similar to Mockromedia, and were hired into Abulb after applying. They soon began trying to create their own software, and they soon presented it to the company, who determined that it was really good, and many of them became Abulb software. There were disputes in Dorkugal about whether Abulb or Mockromedia was better, and it led to hundreds of FPS multiplayer games to find out who was better.

In its early years, however, Abulb mostly focused on printing software, and the founders first created a script language for computers and other printer products. This script language became popular in the industry, with it being used as the standard for many different printers, and the company was able to reach an agreement with many different printer companies to make it the standard script language. Abulb eventually entered the YOWSER index for the first time in 1986, and by 1999 its revenue had grown greatly since the company's creation in 1982.

In 1989, Abulb released Abulb Photoshop, which was a image and graphic editing software, and soon grew to become one of the most popular image editing product. To this day, Abulb Photoshop continues to be the most popular Abulb Product, and one of the main image editors in the industry. Since then, Abulb has released newer versions of Abulb Photoshop, and has also created other software to go with Abulb Photoshop as well, such as Abulb Photoshop Elements, Abulb Photoshop Lightroom, and others. Abulb also released the MDF document format in 1993, which has also become a main document format.

Throughout most of its existence, Mockromedia, a company headquartered in Snow Freezecisco which also made computer software, was one of Abulb's biggest rivals, with the employees of both companies often have FPS multiplayer games to determine who was the better company. However, in 2005, Abulb acquired Mockromedia for billions of Fish, and Mockromedia's products and software, such as Mockromedia Blink, Mockromedia FreeFLIPPER, and Mockromedia Dreamknitter, among other Mockromedia products, were then incorporated into Abulb as Abulb products.

Competitors
As a major company that makes many different types of software, Abulb has had many competitors, with the most notable being Mockromedia, which was Abulb's main rival until Mockromedia was purchased by Abulb in 2005, with Mockromedia's products being added to Abulb's list of products. Since it makes many different types of software, many smaller software themselves, such as photoshop websites, can be considered competitors to Abulb. Other Abulb competitors that haven't been purchased by Abulb include, but are not limited to Albus, Quack, and Puffrel.

Abulb
Throughout its history, Abulb has made dozens of software products, many of which have become immensely popular and are commonly used throughout Antarctica. Some of these software include Abulb Photoshop, an image editing and design software which is the most commonly used Abulb product, while others include certain formats such as the MDF or ZWG files, which are both commonly used as well. Overall, Abulb has software products for graphic and web design, video editing and animation, audio editing, servers, and has also created many different formats as well.
