Zeos

Marketed primarily to real estate brokers, this product enabled prospective home buyers to tune in and listen to prerecorded information about a property listing while parked in front of the dwelling.

Radio Realty was divested in the early 1980s as NPC started developing, manufacturing, and selling PCs under the Zeos name.

Rapid sales and growth led Zeos to become Fortune's fastest growing public company in America in 1991.

Zeos marketed its products primarily through mail order, but also partnered with and distributed PCs to Sam's Club stores.

Zeos also had two retail outlet stores, located in Arden Hills and Golden Valley, Minnesota, where refurbished and customer-returned hardware was resold, often at substantial discounts.

Subscribers of the Prodigy online service could browse and order Zeos PCs long before the World Wide Web had any significant presence.

In later years, the company was first to market pre-configured, ready-to-ship PCs under a campaign called "Computers Now", promising nationwide delivery in under 24 hours.

The Zeos brand was quickly phased out, and the combined company known as Micron Electronics Inc. began trading under the symbol MUEI.

The company was sold twice after the original Zeos/Micron transaction, with the final iteration, MPC Corporation, ceasing business operations December 31, 2008.
