U.S. Computer Corporation grew from a company
whose original operations were begun in 1960 as a privately owned
communications and electronics company representing such companies as
Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, and General Electric.
In 1968 we entered the digital computer field
as Information Associates and by 1972 delivered our first mini computer as
Northwest Computer Group. In 1975 Northwest Computer Group established a
partnership offering customized mini computers, software, and time share
services to the business, government, and educational communities. We wrote
and developed customizable software and integrated the software into mini
computers to support these customers We connected computers between
cities and companies long before it become a common practice and decades
before there were graphical web browsers.
By 1976 our customers could and were dialing
into our time sharing services from terminals in remote cities. Our first
'online' customers included a nationwide insurance underwriter, a nationwide
industrial contractor, and a public housing authority.
In 1977 our founders began preparation for a
shift from the mini computer to what would eventually become the micro
computer and the present personal computer market.
Under the trade name New Age Electronics
founded in 1978 we became one of America's largest and most successful
Commodore Amiga dealers. Small personal computers were here and we shared
the excitement, enthusiasm and joy of personal computing.
In 1986 we incorporated under our present name
as U.S. Computer Corporation. The same year we diversified into the IBM PC
personal and business markets shipping our first 6 IBM compatible machines to
a state education agency.
By 1987 home and business customers could dial
in to our co owned operations and BBS and download files and obtain support
and other information online. Not for the hundreds of dollars a month it had
cost our customers just 11 years earlier, but for free.
Shortly thereafter our owners officially
registered a U.S. copyright on our first accounting package for an IBM PC and
our focus became the rapidly expanding market for PC's in business, education,
government and in the home.
In 1992 we consolidated all retail operations
under our present name, concentrating on the ever expanding personal computer
market and ways to efficiently network people and computers.
In 1993 we began shipping some computer
products and communication products to customers as far away as Europe.
In 1994 we went on the air with our weekly half
hour TV show featuring staff members and people telephoning in for help. We
continued that show through 1999.
By 1995 we had preliminary sites running on the
internet. When graphical browsers replaced telnet and ftp commands and web
browsing became a reality, we were there.
In 1997 we began selling products on the internet through a newly established division, U.S. Computer Express. Twenty one years after we had first initiated computer
services online to customers 50 miles away for thousands of dollars a month,
we now provided services around the world for free.
Today we are both an Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) and Reseller of IBM compatible computers, hardware,
software, electronics, books, support, service, and training.
With our customer base ranging from the United
States to Canada, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia we are now
offering products via the internet to most of the world.
By the end of 1999 we had delivered over 1
million products* to customers worldwide. Customer service remains our
priority and in the nearly 40 years since our beginnings, no complaint has ever been filed with any better business bureau
that we know of. A record we challenge any company to match.

video, communications and 500+ additional web pages of constantly updated computer
information and computer news.
