Welcome to part II in the ITAD Talk podcast series with Dick Noble. Dick and a partner launched Summit Information Resources (now Summit 360) from Dick’s duplex, with just the dining room and a spare bedroom as their office.

Even back in the early nineties when they launched in that duplex, Summit 360 began as a reseller of used and refurbished DEC hardware including networking, minicomputers, and storage equipment.
This episode finds Jeff conversing with Dick Noble, the founder of Summit 360.
