My name is rod canion, and I am the president Of compaq computer corporation of houston.

The mysterious company you've been invited To come and hear about today.

Rod canion:

I spent most of the night practicing, Changing, practicing, changing.

This is an important day for us.

The public introduction of a new personal computer that has been In development for nine months.

Rod canion:

It was the big city And we were the kids from the plains of texas.

There's a three piece suit, and my thick glasses, And we looked out of place.

This is the compaq portable computer.

The unit is laid over smoothly using its carrying handle, And the keyboard is removed by sliding two latches And lifting it out.

That's how easy it is to get it ready for operation.

It was a portable and that was something Ibm had no entrant in at all, and it was 27 pounds.

Portability-- people need to be able to take it anyway.

It's going to have a handle.

Chris cantwell:

It was simultaneously An incredibly revolutionary idea but sounds so Mundane to today's audiences.

A handle, wow.

It is the only personal computer, Portable or otherwise, that is truly compatible with the ibm Personal computer.

I begin to really realize, this is it.

The flag was going down, and the race was going to begin.

I repeat, compaq is the only personal computer that is truly Compatible with the ibm pc.

Bill aulet:

This was just a blip on the screen.

Who cares about a luggable?

It just doesn't matter, it's a toy.

It's a curiosity-- it's nothing more.

Announcer:

While some software computer firms are battling To succeed, one personal computer Company is more concerned with taking Its hardware success forward.

Kim frandois:

Our company is real all of a sudden.
