Description: Founded in 1994, 3dfx Interactive was a computer hardware company based in San Jose, California that specialized in the manufacturing of 3D graphics processing units, and later, video cards. 3dfx was a pioneer in the field of high performance video and graphics acceleration in the '90s, and by the end of 1997, the 3dfx Voodoo graphics card was by the most widely adopted 3D accelerator by both consumers and software developers alike. By the start of the new decade, several competitors were starting to catch up with the latest iteration of Voodoo cards, and 3dfx, and a series of bad decisions coupled with an increasingly volatile market led to the untimely demise of 3dfx in 2001.

Description: Founded in 1979 in Fremont, California, GRiD Systems Corp. was an early portable computer manufacturer known for producing rugged and semi-rugged machines. GRiD is credited with several pioneering ideas, including the first portable computer, the first clamshell laptop computer, the first commercially available tablet-type portable computer, and the concept of a "bus" for connecting peripherals (using GPIB). The 1982 GRiD Compass 1101 is considered the granddaddy of all present-day laptop computers. It had 256k RAM, an 8086, 320x240 screen, and 384k of internal 'bubble memory' that held data with power off.
Description: Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), was founded by Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson in 1957 in Maynard, Massachusetts. Operating under the trade name Digital, they were a major player in the computer industry from the 1960s to the 1990s. Although the company produced many product lines over their history, they are best known for their work in the minicomputer market starting in the mid-1960s. The company produced a series of machines known as the PDP line, with the PDP-8 and PDP-11 being among the most successful minis in history. Their success was only surpassed by another DEC product, the late-1970s VAX "supermini" systems that were designed to replace the PDP-11.
Description: Elephant Memory Systems (EMS) was a popular brand of floppy disk media produced by Leading Edge in the '80s. The name for the product was derived because of the common folk wisdom that an elephant never forgets. Elephant was founded in 1980. The brand was originally devised as an inexpensive, mass-market product, and its imposing pachyderm logo paired with bright yellow packaging, which was in stark contrast of the more conservative silvers and blues used by competitors. Investors feared this would undermine the credibility of the product, however, Elephant would become viewed as a premium product, eventually becoming one of the highest-margin floppies on the market and one of the best-selling media brands in history.

Description: ATI Technologies Inc. was a Canadian semiconductor technology corporation based in Markham, Ontario, that specialized in the development of graphics processing units and chipsets. Founded in 1985, the company was listed publicly in 1993 and was acquired in 2006. As a major fabless semiconductor company, ATI conducted research and development in-house and outsourced the manufacturing and assembly of its products. With the decline and eventual bankruptcy of 3dfx in 2000, ATI and its chief rival emerged as the dominant players in the graphics processors industry, eventually forcing other manufacturers into niche roles.
