During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louise Lamont, began a part-time business making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement of a friend's house. Their only cost was $363 for parts; they sold each computer for $638. They were able to make three machines per week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating & Lamont Computers (KLC). The product quality was good, and as graduation approached, orders were coming in much faster than KLC could fill them. A national CPA firm made Ms. Lamont an attractive offer of employment, and a large electronics company was ready to hire Mr. Keating. Students and faculty at Clarkson College, however, encouraged the two to make KLC a full-time venture. The college administration had decided to require all students in the schools of business and engineering to buy their own computers…
