Did you guess? If not, here's a clue: Now a major company, it was founded in New Mexico by two people.

Microsoft.

Well done Deep Hour!

Founded 4 April 1975. I had only heard of computers in the mid 1970s as possibly a tool for self-directed learning for students. I had no idea whatsoever in 1975 that before long I would be sitting in my home communicating by pc/internet with people all over the world long before the end of the 20th century.

I bought my first home PC in 1996 with microsoft software. We were using them at work before that. Still using MS software several computers later...

Well I bought my first Windows computer less than 12 months ago, though I now own two of them.

First computer was a BBC Master 128 in 1988, on which I learned BASIC programming and a bit of Assembly Language, then I lost interest for a quarter of a century......

I've always had Windows computers----I think my first one was in 1994----Windows 3.1.....

I can remember doing searches, and you might get, like, 80 hits----now, it's like 8 THOUSAND!!
