Rentacomputer.com Celebrates 20 Years in
the Computer Rental Business
02/13/2008
Cincinnati, Oh -This year, Rentacomputer.com Celebrates 20
Years in the Computer Rental Business
 From 1987 to 2007, Rent-A-Computer, renamed
Rentacomputer.com, is a computer rental company that has
evolved with the personal computer industry.
"In 1987, the first
computer rentals were the IBM XT, a
8088 processor with 20mB Hard Drive. We upgraded it with a
graphics card and green screen monitor. We also rented the IBM AT with
a 80286 processor. Our first Apple product was a Mac Plus.
And our first laser printer rental was the HP LJ Series II.”
said Rose Morgan, co-founder with John Beagle.
In 1997, Rentacomputer.com was one of the first rental
companies on the internet. Rent-A-Computer created its first
website more than 10 years ago.
In 1998, Rentacomputer.com helped co-found a computer rental
industry trade association which became the National
Computer Rental Association (NCRA). "Three years ago, the
NCRA changed its name to the IT-RA, the International
Technology Rental Association to better reflect the
international membership of the organization as well as the
focus toward technology rentals in general rather than
computer rentals specifically.
It was the internet that fueled our growth. The internet
provided a conduit which allowed us find local computer
service talent in over 1000 cities worldwide.

with the best ‘local’ computer service and av equipment
installers in the business. Rentacomputer.com’s experience

Mark S. from a nationwide wireless company. (Name withheld
