  • Texas Instruments
  • Digital Equipment
  • Bull Computer/Honeywell

Overall, not a list of companies with endurance.

  • National Education Association calls for a computer for each teacher by 1991.
  • Researchers at Purdue have developed a program that teaches students about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
