GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Put Compaq history at the center of your workspace with this mouse pad. The company launched in Texas in 1982 and quickly became synonymous with IBM-compatible PCs, beginning with the Compaq Portable and expanding through Deskpro, LTE, Presario, and enterprise systems. It is a fitting desk companion for coding, gaming, studying, office work, or building a nostalgic computer setup. A practical tribute to a brand that helped shape the personal-computing race of the 1980s and 1990s.
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.
