[edit] Early History
It is not known who exactly founded Schneck, but the CEO of 1983-1986 was Dob McDobson, a yuppie from Suburbia. He programmed the first Schneck program, which was a word processor called Typing Program Thingey that was available for the DOS operating system. Typing Program Thingey II was released the next year, and had spellcheck, a first among word processors. that same year, Schneck released a calculator, called the Money-Work Helper Deluxe, which was the first calculator made for people who did accounting, as it was able to convert currencies with ease and operated on solar power.
[edit] The First Computers
Schneck continued to make calculators and word processors until 1987, when their first computer, the Schneck Computing Machine was released. It had a processing speed of 5.9823402374 Quadrobits/second, which was quite good for the time. It came with Typing Program Thingey 4.1 and their operating system, SchneckOS, which was a GUI, or Graphical User Interface. Then, the following year, SchneckOS 2.0 was released for their new computer, the Schneck Compy, which had a processing speed of 6.73204381 Quadrobits/second, which was a marginal improvement.
[edit] 1989-1996: The Golden Years
In 1989, the Schneck Supercomputer 1.1 was released, with an amazing clockspeed of 12.485743982 Quadrobits/second. This was unheard of, and it came with TypingHelper 1.4, SchneckOS 2.76, and Drawing Program Thingey 1.5, all for the price of $595.95! In 1990, the Schneck Supercomputer 2.04, with a clockspeed of 14.1973298 Quadrobits/second, was released, with a better drawing program, modem access, and SchneckOS 3.08, which allowed for a right mouse button, and Internet access. 1991 was possibly the best year for Schneck Technologies, when the Schneck Ultra computer and OS were released, allowing for a never-before seen clockspeed of 17.843574328 Quadrobits/second, and even better access to the Internet. The following five years saw great leaps in technology, culminating with the 1996 release of the Schneck Supreme computer, which came with SchneckOS Mega-Ultra-Supreme, TypingHelper 6.4, Drawing Program Thingey 7.49, and Schneck Interweb Browser 2.01. This computer had a clockspeed of 23.128472398 Quadrobits/second, and was competing with the popular Crapbot 5, which had a clockspeed of 21.148932 Quadrobits/second. I think you know which one was superior.
[edit] The Great Crash
The CEO of the company gambled the entire company's futures in the stock of pets.com. I think we all know how that went down. In 2000, Schneck Technologies declared bankruptcy.
[edit] Schneck on the Comeback
Schneck Technologies is currently a small firm that makes graphing, scientific, and accounting calculators for the math freak on a budget. As they make more and more money, however, they may once again get back into the computer and software businesses. So don't sell that stock just yet!
