Company Description

In 1968, Tom Poulter was a long-time HP engineer and product manager, and had just introduced the HP 2000A timesharing system. On the heels of that success, he left HP to found Basic Timesharing Inc. as a commercial timesharing service. Tom was joined by fellow HP-ers, Steve Porter and Paul Schmidt.
