Our Founder

Vail Systems Technology has been around for decades. Founded by Warren Vail to provide the world with the best access to technology, here are some of the milestones he was part of;

1. He wrote his first piece of code for a computer in 1964, not in a modern language (of course), not in an assembler, but he hand coded the machine code in binary, and punched it into the computer in that same binary format using a maintenance panel to enter the numbers (literally one bit at a time), without the advantages of object orientation (a good thing), and with his own error checking included.
2. In the fall of 1967, he was part of a team that provided real time data on all radar targets in the US Navy Pacific Fleet using radio transmission from Vietnam to a ship in San Diego harbor, then on a phone line via the ARPANET to the White House, which allowed then president Johnson to watch major raids on North Vietnam, in real time.
