It was going pretty good when I first got involved. The meetings were held in a Stanford campus lecture hall. Shortly thereafter the meetings moved to a lecture hall at SLAC. It was a fun time, I remember the Apple 1 demo and several other demonstrations. One time an Intel rep came and gave away bare 286 chips that did not pass testing. John Draper "Captain Crunch" came to speak. The general plan is that Lee directed the "mapping" where each person that wanted to speak stood up and spoke for a minute or so. Mapping was followed by the "random access" part where the connections established in the "mapping" part were completed by folk moving around the room. There was also a of arranging for buying and selling of parts like keyboards 8" floppies, modems, etc. Most of actual transactions took place in a shopping area on the other side of Sandhill Rd. because transactions were not allowed on SLAC property.
I remember getting that issue in the mail in Jan 1975. My mail box was several hundred feet from the dome I lived in. I went screaming to my girlfriend about the coming revolution. She gave me an odd look, but I immediately knew my future. I was 30. I'm still living it 48 years later. She became my wife. 4 kids. We lived the Revolution.
at that time they were intelligent students who were probably considered weird and even isolated from the other "normal" and today they are successful people and even rich in Wozniac's case.

How long were the meetings?
So many legends in one video! Thank you for all!
I'm not even a computer nerd but I love these guys and have great admiration for them (esply the powerful Woz)
Considering who the guests are, the show should have been much longer. At least an hour.
3:06 it was Paul Allen that showed the cover to Gates at Harvard and not Ballmer
Thanks for pointing out, Ballmer was never the homebrew type.
@@hernancoronel he was the marketing guy .

Excellent upload.
The Chicago Area Computer Hobbyist Exchange was the origin of the world's first BBS. A S-100 machine. Lots of excitement in that era.

When was it on air?
early 2000s
"29 years ago" was mentioned a few times, so 1975+29 = 2004
Epic!
must have been shown in 2004. 1975 + 29
