Compaq Computer Corporation
was founded in February 1982 by Rod Canion, Jim Harris and Bill
Murto, three senior managers who left Texas Instruments and invested
$1,000 each to form their own company. Sketched on a paper place mat
in a Houston pie shop, the first product was a portable personal
computer able to run all of the software being developed then for
the IBM PC.
