1983 Start MicroSearch, Inc. opened its doors in 1983 as a full-service dealer for Commodore, Apple, and IBM PC's in a little showroom in Southwest Houston. The computer industry was growing fast and the price of personal computers was high but coming down in price quickly. The IBM PC was still a machine that cost about $3000 and the industry was earnestly looking for a cheaper machine. The Commodore 64 was a big seller for MicroSearch and a computer system could be assembled for about $600.

In 1986, MicroSearch moved to a 7000-square-foot showroom located off of the Southwest Freeway. The Commodore-Amiga 1000 was released and became a hit. The Amiga, its multitasking capabilities, and the infamous "boing" demonstration of a ball bouncing around a screen in stereo sound astonished computer enthusiasts. After some initial growing pains of the Amiga, the Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000 became available and became another big seller. Because of their service and selection, MicroSearch would become the premiere Amiga dealer in Houston. MicroSearch promoted the Amiga like no other reseller.
