History

Established in 1986.

We’ve been in the computer, science and engineering business for a long time and carry a rich body of experiences with us. This business starting solving problems that no one else either could or wanted to address. We have worked on embedded computers systems through large networks. Besides tons of computers, we have repaired military transport aircraft, radar installations, heavy equipment, electron microscopes, tanks and toasters. We have designed medical instrumentation and continue to do so. The owner built the first four microcomputers (PCs) at Children’s Hospital out of individual parts. The total bill for 4 PCs with a daisy wheel printer was around $ 6,000 at a time when the hospital was paying over $ 20,000, each, for dedicated Lanier word processors. A savings of over $ 74,000.
