Action Computer Enterprise
- ... that the first batch of Action Computer Enterprise's Discovery 1600, one of the first multi-user microcomputers, was delivered to a tobacco-growing business in Thailand? Source: "Along with two fellow engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif., Kwok had been working on a new microcomputer that could serve several users at once. Now he and his colleagues agreed to go out on their own and, with a $50,000 investment from the Chungs, formed a joint venture called Action Computer Enterprise Inc. By February of the following year, the first California-made computers had been shipped to tobacco operations headquarters in Banphai, a small village 400 kilometers from Bangkok. While Kwok Ong and company chairman Herbert Siegel perfected the multi-user technology, Wing Chung turned to marketing Action's Discovery line of computers throughout Asia." Kotkin, Joel (June 1987).

- Comment The hook is not grammatically correct as written. It should be either "the first batch was delivered" or "the first batches were delivered". Normally I'd just boldly make a minor fix like this, but I'll let the nominator or reviewer decide which version of the fix to use. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:40, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
