A Chat With April's Profile, Terry Powers, founder/president, ComputerGear

By Joe Keenan

Catalog Success: Where's your company headquartered?
Terry Powers: ComputerGear is out of Redmond, Washington.

CS: When was the company established? Were catalogs mailed right away?
TP: It was founded in 1993. At that time, computers were starting to come into the workforce, and they were not very friendly. They were ugly, too. It was basically started on a dare. Someone said, “Why don't you make computers more friendly?” This whole process of having a computer on your desktop be more friendly. I saw that there wasn't really any products out there to decorate your desk or make it more fun, so I pretty much took someone up on a dare and did it.
