The Desktop is the Future

"In 1966, I return to El Paso and begin new career with Cremans Inc. , the largest Consulting Engineering firm in El Paso, I have been spoiled by the computer technology of Aerospace. I begin to look in technical catalogs for affordable alternatives. I find a small computer that is marketed by a national supplier of engineering equipment. Ms. Destiny takes credit for finding the PDS-1020 Digital Computer. The PDS 1020 supports an internal machine language that makes it programmable for modular applications. The unit is built into a large desk with specifications and processing features similar to Teletype stations at the Douglas Space Center.", Hector Holguin, Jr.

Through all this, the company held together with very little turnover, developed new product and built an impressive, blue-chip customer list. ” TORONTO GLOBE & MAIL of February 21, 1995, by Matthew Ingram, Investment Reporter: “The high-octane performance of Accugraph’s stock over the past six months. The stock has leaped almost 200%, which represents the Company’s commanding hold on all of its markets.” And ready for most successful NASDAQ listing (55 times ROI to initial investors).
