Three Rivers Computer Youth Hoodie / Sweatshirt
Product Details & Size Guide
Bring a piece of computer history to a young collector's wardrobe with this Three Rivers Computer youth hoodie. 3RCC began in Pittsburgh in 1974, emerging from Carnegie Mellon research with work in graphics displays, peripherals, and computer systems. The launch of PERQ in 1979 brought the company into the high-performance workstation story, while later joint development with ICL added a cross-Atlantic chapter. A conversation-starting choice for young fans of technology, research, and computing history.
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.
