Carry a piece of Pittsburgh computing history with a Three Rivers Computer backpack. Founded in 1974 as a spin-off from Carnegie Mellon University's computer science research, 3RCC moved ideas from university labs toward advanced displays, peripherals, and systems. The company's 1979 PERQ launch marked its focus on high-performance single-user workstations and graphics. This design connects everyday outings with a story collectors value: research, manufacturing, and workstation innovation across the United States and United Kingdom.
Three Rivers Computer Corporation, also known as 3RCC, began in May 1974 as a spin-off from the Research Engineering Laboratory of Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Science Department. Founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by Brian S. Rosen, James R. Teter, William H. Broadley, J. Stanley Kriz, D. Raj Reddy, and Paul G. Newbury, it set out to manufacture advanced computer displays, peripherals, and systems. Early products included graphics and color-video display equipment, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters for music and speech research, and a monitor for testing PDP-11 minicomputers. In 1979, the company introduced PERQ, its principal line of high-performance, single-user workstation computers, featuring versatile graphics displays. In summer 1980, it divested activities unrelated to PERQ. From 1981, 3RCC developed and produced PERQ jointly with ICL in the United Kingdom. The company changed its name to PERQ Systems Corporation in 1984 and became insolvent in 1985. Its history links university research, Pittsburgh technology manufacturing, and the development of graphical workstations.
