Wyse - Al principio se hizo la potencia

Wyse, fundada en 1981, fue especialmente conocida durante los 80 por sus "terminales de video", pero también participó en el mercado de los compatibles PC, pero fue superada por otras como Dell, que la acabaría comprando en 2012, y que hoy en día sigue conservando la marca como subsidiaria, Dell Wyse, dedicada sobre todo a los "thin clients".

El texto de este anuncio de abril de 1988, jugando con la teoría del Big Bang y afirmando que primero no se hizo la luz, sino la potencia, era:

The Big Bang Theory

In the beginning, there was power. When Wyse engineers set out to create a new PC family, their objective was not merely to design a new system, but a new design. Criterion one was power with total compatibility: higher performance for industry standard software. Today's and tomorrow's.

The results are four uniquely upgradeable Modular Systems Architecture™ wyse PCs that make up the most powerful PC family in the business.

At the top, the new WYSEpc 386 has one of the highest benchmark ratings yet for a personal computer. Our unique design achieves exceptional memory speed as well as processing speed for zero wait state performance on multiple operating systems. Such as MS-DOS, OS/2 and Xenix. For CAD/CAE. heavy duty spreadsheets, or multi-user applications, it delivers power to satisfy the insatiable.

And its only the beginning. Our 8MHz AT compatible. 12.5 MHz professional desktop 286, and 12.5 MHz zero wait state 286 provide more power for every level of user.

Introducing SystemWyse. Our PCs form the core of a comprehensive system for creating solutions. They link effortlessly with our terminals, monitors, and expansion modules in solutions of exceptional quality and value. And SystemWvse is backed by the company that makes more terminals than anyone but IBM.

SystemWyse. It's a power structure you can build on.
 
We make it better, or we just don't make it
