Fun Computer Facts from Long Island Computer Repair Co. HeroTechs

I decided to provide some fun and interesting facts about the computer industry for todays Long Island Computer Repair Blog from HeroTechs.  There are so many facts out there and most are boring.  I read through them all and decided to bring you the very best ones I read.  A few items to mention is that some very large well known companies such as Xerox has had a huge role in the development of items such as the Operating System and Mouse as well as the origional Fax Machine.  To bad they didn’t have the good business sense to patent and trademark some of their ideas.  Another item to note is that if you take your Mac and make it an aquarium you have a Macquarium like the picture to the side.  Anyway I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing this.
