Compaq was founded in February 1982 by Rod Canion, Jim Harris, and Bill Murto, three senior managers from Texas Instruments. The company became a major PC manufacturer and merged with Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2002, which was indeed one of the most talked-about mergers in tech history after AOL Time Warner. HP and Dell are incorrect as they were founded earlier (1939 and 1984 respectively), while Lenovo was founded later (1984) and is a Chinese company.
