The Desktop is the Future

"In 1966, I return to El Paso and begin new career with Cremans Inc. , the largest Consulting Engineering firm in El Paso, I have been spoiled by the computer technology of Aerospace. I begin to look in technical catalogs for affordable alternatives. I find a small computer that is marketed by a national supplier of engineering equipment. Ms. Destiny takes credit for finding the PDS-1020 Digital Computer. The PDS 1020 supports an internal machine language that makes it programmable for modular applications. The unit is built into a large desk with specifications and processing features similar to Teletype stations at the Douglas Space Center.", Hector Holguin, Jr.

Accugraph Corporation

The El Paso Headquarters of Accugraph Corporation. CEO Hector Holguin is seated in front row center (brown jacket, white pants). The 1987 Crash of Stock Market caused the bankruptcy of Kinburn Technology of Ottawa Canada, a major owner of Accugraph Corporation. Royal Bank of Canada demanded $10 Million from Accugraph, which was part of $600 Million owed by Kinburn to Syndicate of Banks. TO RISE FROM THE ASHES: Scotia-McLeod Business Report: February 1995 by Cheryl Nesbitt and Byron Berry: “A Company Transformed: Accugraph Corporation is a real business whose management has successfully directed the company through the roughest times — when it was often difficult to convince potential customers that it would survive and there was limited capital to plan for the future. Through all this, the company held together with very little turnover, developed new product and built an impressive, blue-chip customer list. ” TORONTO GLOBE & MAIL of February 21, 1995, by Matthew Ingram, Investment Reporter: “The high-octane performance of Accugraph’s stock over the past six months. The stock has leaped almost 200%, which represents the Company’s commanding hold on all of its markets.” And ready for most successful NASDAQ listing (55 times ROI to initial investors). PC WEEK Magazine of December 17, 1994, the Broadview Report: “Accugraph Corporation of El Paso, Texas, is one of the fastest growing U.S. companies in the high-technology sector.” ACCUGRAPH SETS RECORD SALES AND PROFIT FOR 1994 El Paso TX, March 9, 1995: Accugraph Corporation announces results for 1994. Sales for 1994 are $24.8 million, a 76% increase over 1993. Net income for 1994 is $5.1 million — an increase of 374% over 1993.
