GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Start the day with a nod to Compaq, a company woven into the rise of modern personal computing. Founded in Texas in 1982, Compaq made its mark with the Portable, Deskpro, Presario, and enterprise systems that filled offices, homes, classrooms, and server rooms. Its clean-room IBM compatibility and rapid growth made it an enduring name for people who remember the 1980s and 1990s PC revolution. This mug brings that legacy to morning coffee, late-night troubleshooting, and every meeting in between.
Compaq Computer Corporation was founded on February 16, 1982, by former Texas Instruments senior managers Rod Canion, Jim Harris, and Bill Murto. Initially based in Harris County, Texas, the company introduced the Compaq Portable in November 1982 and released it in March 1983. Its legally clean-room-engineered IBM PC compatibility helped establish the brand in personal computing. Compaq expanded with the Deskpro desktop in 1984, the Deskpro 386 in 1986, and the SystemPro server in 1989. Under Eckhard Pfeiffer, who became president and CEO in 1991, Compaq entered the retail market with Presario computers and became the top PC manufacturer in 1994. The company acquired Tandem Computers in 1997 and Digital Equipment Corporation in 1998, adding major server and services businesses. Hewlett-Packard acquired Compaq for $25 billion in 2002. HP later used the name on HP Compaq business computers, while Compaq Evo was replaced in 2003 and HP ProBook in 2009. HP discontinued the broader Compaq brand for lower-end systems in 2013.
