COSTA MESA : Computer System Donated to OCC

Symbol Technologies Inc. of Costa Mesa has donated more than $100,000 worth of computer equipment to the High Technology Department at Orange Coast College.

The company, which creates automated cash register systems that read Universal Product Codes, presented a Micro-Vax Computer with 20 terminals, several printers and other equipment.

“This new system enhances our computer power to a tremendous degree,” said Thomas C. Hersh, director of the Orange Coast College Automation and Robotics Department. “We can now expose high-technology students to a full manufacturing system, from the creation of an automated product through its out-the-door delivery.”

The donation was the second this year that Symbol Technologies has made to the college.
