- During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louise Lamont, began a part-time business making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement of a friend's house. Their only cost was $364 for parts; they sold each computer for $633. They were able to make three machines per week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating & Lamont Computers (KLC).
