Inside Homebrew: The Club Where Apple Was Born

Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Today, Silicon Valley is the epicenter of the tech industry but back in 1975, when a group of local engineers and DIY tinkerers formed the Homebrew Computer Club, the personal computer didn't even exist yet. Those early meetings are the stuff of legend: Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak debuted the Apple 1 for the group, almost singlehandedly kicking off the PC revolution in the process. A group of original Homebrew members gathered recently at the Computer History Museum in San Jose for a reunion. Bloomberg's Jon Erlichman reports. (Source: Bloomberg)
