👉 Jackson Computing, founded by Bill Jackson in 1975, was a pioneering American computer hardware and software company known for its innovative and affordable personal computing solutions. Jackson introduced the concept of "computing as a service," offering high-quality computers and peripherals at lower costs compared to established brands, making personal computing accessible to a broader audience. The company was particularly influential in the development of the Apple II and TRS-80 models, which were among the first successful mass-produced personal computers. Jackson's approach emphasized user-friendly design and cost-effectiveness, significantly contributing to the democratization of computing technology during the early to mid-1980s.
