The first seedling concepts of Tripower began back in 1988. The first raw prototype of Tripower was written in 1989 with Quick Basic 4.5 and ran under DOS 3.2 in a computer with two 5 1/4" floppy drives with no hard drive. Tripower was about 20% functional and was called "Firepower". Firepower grew better, stronger and much more sophisticated with Visual Basic and improved versions of Windows. As development continued, Firepower developed and progressed into several groups and aspects of 3's... 3 main forms, 3 mouse clicks, 3 keystrokes, 3 list boxes, 3 search engines, 3 main file handlers (files, website and email). Plus 3 major marketing avenues and other 3's.High Performance muscle-cars and racing engines inspired the "tri-laden" Firepower to be renamed Tripower. Computer technology merged with skills to create Tripower in a form several orders of magnitude more powerful and functional than the fledgling "concept" prototype of 1989 could have ever possibly been.
