World's Largest Non-Profit PC Manufacturing Operation Celebrates Production of 20,000th PC

Axon Attributes its Success to Motivated Disabled Workforce and Intel Mentoring

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA - November 15, 1999 -- When a few disabled employees at a non-profit started to build PC's as a hobby back in 1991, no one could have predicted that the effort would grow to become the world's largest computer manufacturing operation of its kind. Axon Computers announced today that it will soon produce its 20,000th PC and 500th File Server. The operation provides high quality jobs to a disabled work force and revenues in excess of profits go towards vocational rehabilitation and housing for the disabled. "The unemployment rate for disabled Floridians is 70%", says Vice President of Axon, Fritz Smickle. "Axon owes its success to our incredibly motivated work force as well as to strong technical mentoring and support from Intel." Intel engineers regularly assist at Axon's efficient manufacturing plant in Clearwater. Intel systems engineer Mike Nwankwo said. "Intel is proud of its role in helping Axon build high caliber computers and servers. We are very supportive of their mission to provide the disabled community with quality jobs". Most of the 20,000 PC's Axons produced are employed in a wide variety of mission critical applications including fire/rescue and airport operations. Customers include Lockheed Martin IMS, non-profit organizations, and a wide variety of governmental agencies. Axon Computers is the enterprise portion of Abilities Inc. of Florida who is marking the 40th anniversary since Eleanor Roosevelt cut the ribbon opening its doors.
