SV Trip 2003: Homebrew Computer Club

[From my trip to Silicon Valley, California, in 2003]

The letterhead from a newsletter of the Homebrew Computer Club. The Computer History Museum has the following to say:

"The legendary Homebrew Computer Club provided a meeting place for computer hobbyists, many of whom later become pioneers in the microcomputer industry in Silicon Valley. At its first meeting in March 1975, held in a Menlo Park, California garage, this group gathered to discuss the Altair 8800, an early build-it-yourself computer kit, and other technical topics. It was through Homebrew that Steve Wozniak heard about mail-order personal computers and set out to build, with Steve Jobs, the Apple I. Wozniak said he designed the Apple I as 'a way of showing off to my friends' at the Homebrew Computer Club. The club disbanded in 1986 but celebrated its 25th anniversary at a reunion in March 2001."
