Apollo Computer Inc. was an American technology corporation headquartered and founded in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1980 by William Poduska, a founder of Prime Computer, and others. Apollo developed and produced the Apollo/Domain workstations of the 1980s, and along with Symbolics and Sun Microsystems it was one of the first vendors of graphical workstations. Like other computer companies of the time, Apollo produced much of its own hardware and software. Apollo was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 1989 and gradually closed down over the period from 1990 to 1997.
