Land deal leads to Carson City company that's still computing

According to Al Fiegehen, chief executive officer of Cubix Corporation in Carson City, the computer industry is about to explode at the same rate it did in the 1980s when computer technology forever changed the world. The online magazine, Wired, refers to the 1980s as the "Decade That Invented the Future." IBM introduced the PC in 1981 when Microsoft invented MS-Dos; three years later, the Apple McIntosh was introduced. Time magazine referred to 1982 as "The Year of the Computer" and by 1983, about 10 million computers were in use. Fiegehen and his then partner, Don Lehr, were right at the forefront of this technological explosion when computers went from the second-generation memory systems developed by IBM between 1947-1962 to third generation systems with integrated circuits introduced in 1963.
