Researchers at Xerox and its Palo Alto Research Center invented several important elements of personal computing, such as the desktop metaphor GUI, the computer mouse and desktop computing.

The laser printer was invented in 1969 by Xerox researcher Gary Starkweather by modifying a Xerox 7000 copier.

Hi, I just wanted to express how pleasant it was to do business with CompSource. I just ordered my new graphics card (order #?????) on Sunday evening and it was on my doorstep by Tuesday morning. Excellent job guys. After the week-long horror story and predicament that I experienced when trying to order from Newegg.com last week, I am now making it a priority to thank retailers who go the extra mile for their customers. Once again, thanks guys. Emeka E. EmekaMore Reviews
