The Compaq story is amazing. So the three people who start Compaq in 1982 are actually Texas Instruments engineers who left and they wanted to start a company. And I believe as the legend goes, they were like trying to decide what to start. They were considering like a restaurant chain and like a bunch of different business ideas. And then the IBM PC comes out at the end of 1981.
