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.
