And Benny Jacobs, launched Computer Precision the IT computer support company in London.
All except Computer Precision are now history, but we continue to grow. And that sometimes makes us wonder where we went right whilst the others went wrong.
We suspect the reason for our longevity is that we never really thought we were in the computer business. What we sell is our experience and service in the area of IT. Hardware manufacturers come and go, but knowledge and experience have a life and a value of their own.
So here are three reasons why Computer Precision continues to be a leading IT Support company in London and beyond:
We have over twenty-four years of experience in designing, installing and maintaining computer systems. We are as happy dealing with large companies as we are with single customers.
Computer Precision's customers choose to stay with us because our personal service provides outstanding value for money and peace of mind.
We're based in Islington in North London, and we aim to provide you with pain-free IT service and sales. Here are three reasons why you might find us soothingly helpful:
Even if you have your own IT team and know exactly what you need, we can provide you with the additional resources on the occasions you may need to outsource.
And, in many cases, it is good business to focus to your own areas of expertise and engage specialists to handle the IT, providing they are competent and trustworthy. Which we are.

He used to be in private equity investment at Apax and at Cazenove Private Equity, but long holiday car journeys as a boy through France had aroused a deep interest in wine. Early in 2006, he left the City and set up his own business, The Sampler.
The experience which tipped him into selling wine was a trip to Italy. There he saw a system for allowing people to enjoy a glass of wine without needing to buy a whole bottle. The system was initially intended for dispensing wine in bars and restaurants, but Jamie saw immediately its potential for retail sales: try a sample and, if you like it, buy a bottle or a case.
So I walked across Upper Street to Computer Precision, told them my problems, and more or less walked back with Woody who got the system working. Since then, I've had no real complaints. It's been pretty good. The services I take from Computer Precision are block support, running the entire back office, first-line support and my internet connection."
Vish, our Business Manager, suggests a solution.
As the markets developed, so did the companies that serviced them. Initially, hardware providers had a big advantage, because they could specify what software their machines used. In Honeywell's case, it was GCOS, for example.
This gives Google a huge advantage. Google's business is the provision of information. Microsoft's business is selling licences. Additionally, Microsoft sells hardware as well as software. The hardware exists to sell the software which, in turn, requires a licence.
Google's attack on Microsoft covers many fronts, but the attention it's giving to cloud computing and virtualisation is a serious threat to Microsoft because neither services require businesses to own servers, and neither do they need to licence software if it is open source, like Linux or Red Hat. Google can simply host businesses on its servers, thereby providing a virtual IT system for them.
At the moment, we're happy to advise you on what to do for the future, but can't yet predict the speed at which change is coming. Google is widely rumoured to run slightly fewer than a million servers worldwide, so it isn't lacking capacity.
