Homebrew Computer Club 30th Anniversary Retrospective:
On March 5, 1975, a very special meeting took place at Gordon French’s garage in the then freshly named “Silicon Valley”. This was the first gathering of the “Homebrew Computer Club” (also called the Amateur Computer User’s Group). Now, this was no ordinary amateur group of folks but the very acorn of the great tree of the personal computing revolution to come. The hand-soldered microcomputer grew up to become the personal computer through the guiding hands of Homebrew Computer Club members and the many other clubs and enterprises that popped up like mushrooms in the late 1970s.
What a time and what a Club it was, so we are coming together on November 5th, 2005, to cut a cake, toggle in a boot loader or two and hear from some of the members of the group that compiled for us the nerd world in which we are all seemingly permanently uploaded.
