About Our Company

In 1986, Our Thoroughbred Computer Retail Store in Downtown Topeka was one of the largest Computer Retailers in Kansas.  We specialized in Kaypro PC computers, Made in the USA.  We also offered Commodore Amiga computers for home use and those with creative and artistic interests.  We installed some of the very first large personal computer networks in Kansas  working with in house IT personnel at KPL(now Westar Energy), Shawnee County Courthouse, and other large offices.   At that time, Merle was also Computer Operations Supervisor for the Forbes Field Kansas Air National Guard Unit.   One day a Budget Controller of the Ks Air National Guard Unit that was also an Accountant and Treasurer for a small town, asked Merle if he could help his small town modernize their utility billing process from manual utility bill calculation.   Before long, Merle had the two clerks entering meter readings in a computer and printing bills within a few hours instead of the several weeks each month they’d previously spent hand calculating bills and typing them out on a typewriter.   It wasn’t long before word started to spread… and Thoroughbred was in the Utility Billing Software business.
