About
There was no market survey, no research, no business plan. Rent-A-Bit was programmed by the most basic chip of motivation—a need in the market place. It was in 1983 when founder Tom Lafree, who worked in computer sales & service, rented his personal computer to a customer for short term project—a notion simply unheard of at this early age in the PC industry. Since that time, the business concept created that day has grown both in size and in the variety of its equipment offerings and services. As the name implies, Rent-A-Bit began and cut its teeth as a computer rental company. But within a few years the business expanded to include audio-visual and office equipment as well.
