National Rent-A-Computer was founded in January 1987 by William and Jane Spiller, to serve corporate and private needs for short-term uses of computers. This was a new concept in 1987, and raising awareness of the company's ability to solve corporate and personal needs ranging from short-term use of computers and monitors at conventions and trade shows, to providing a room-full of computers, printers, and monitors for training sessions, to providing a laptop or projector for an executive presentation… these diverse areas could all be covered by the reliable, on-time delivery of PCs, laptops, printers and other technology related equipment.
