About Horizons Computer Systems |
Horizons Computer Systems, Inc. was established in the mid-1980’s to sell custom-built and pre-built computers to individuals, businesses and schools. It was known then as Horizons Computer Systems Design. In 1994 the owner and founder decided to return to her previous career and sold the business to two employees: Don Gee of Hamilton and Bill Gelhaar of Carthage, Illinois. They incorporated it and continued to operate it until the end of 2003 when they merged with Computing Made Easy where they continue where they continue to use their technical and analytic skills.
