compaq

Jim Harris, Bill Murto and Rod Canion were the founders of Compaq Computer Corporation. All three of them were past senior managers at TI or Texas Instruments.


Compaq was derived by the phrase compatibility and quality, which the makers aimed to give their consumers. It is recognized as the biggest provider of personal computers globally.

The company had started in 1982, but in 2002 Compaq was acquired by HP (Hewlett-Packard).

Their very first product was the Compaq Portable, which was first released in March of 1983. It is a portable IBM PC compatible computer.

The next product they released was Deskpro in 1984. It is a 16-bit desktop computer that uses an Intel 8086 microprocessor. Some other desktop computers from Compaq are the Deskpro 386, Systempro and Presario.


Compaq is discussed at blogs like Otaku Gadgets or Ghacks Technology News.
