...that work takes place in 120,000 sq. ft. of leased office and manufacturing space in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and involves 400 people who design, assemble and sell eight microcomputer models. All involved with the startup have become millionaires: together the founding trio owns more than half of Vector Graphic stock, worth around $29 million at last week's over-the-counter close of $9.75 a share...
