The Garage Revolution: Presenting the Apple II at the Homebrew Club
On a rainy Wednesday evening in April 1977, dozens of enthusiastic hobbyists crowded into the Stanford Linear Accelerator auditorium in Menlo Park. It was the weekly meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club, the birthplace of the personal computing revolution. Two young engineers from a Cupertino garage, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, carried a prototype computer housed in a beige plastic case. Never before had the club members seen a personal computer that combined color graphics, sound, and a built-in keyboard into a consumer-ready machine.
Rarely had an audience of technical purists been so skeptical of a finished commercial product. Most Homebrew enthusiasts preferred soldering raw circuit boards and programming in machine code. Under no circumstances did they expect an elegant appliance designed for ordinary households. But Wozniak began typing commands, and color graphics flashed across a standard television monitor.
