EZ_Software (Fredware) was founded in 1990 by Fred Nichandros to expand the capabilities of the Triad Hardgoods system by connecting it to a PC.

Here are some pictures from the EZ_Software scrapbook that illustrate our company history. Please email your commants and suggestions to Fred.

	Zeitmans True Value in California was the first store to use EZ_Software. They received a beta test version and suggested many improvements.
	Here is John Fix III with his sister and father. John helped pioneer the first EZ applications. His family business is Cornells True Value. John has also launched an Internet Hosting service, and he is hosting this site among others!
	At the end of 1990, Fred contacted Ron Ligouri of Cole Computer Products and asked him to market EZ on a national basis. Mina, Fran, and Ron are shown here. If you have questions or would like to place an order, call them at (925) 672-9621
