Homebrew Computer Club at SLAC
William remembers - "Back in the mid 70's, many of us in the Berkeley Computer Club would carpool and drive down to the regular meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) Auditorium. The lobby would sometimes have commercial (e.g. Cromemco Dazzler), hobby (someone's KIM-1 or Altair 8800), or garage shop (Woz's cherrywood box Apple 1) machine. "Random Access" period with Lee Felsenstien wielding a stick to direct or to call to order, with Adam Osbourne in the back of the room with his perpetual box of books (I bought one!). Sometimes a presentation as well. |
